Try this (or something close) in your Action code :
String contextRoot = getServlet().getSerlvetContext().getRealPath();
Torque.init(contextRoot+"/WEB-INF/TORQUE.properties");
NB: "getServlet()" should work in 1.02. I think this may have changed in
1.1b2 - check the API docs to see how to grab a ref to the ActionServlet
(or ActionSErvletWrapper as it may be now).
