Thanks Sumit for such a quick answer! That's a good idea but I'd like to have a different constant for each of my application. Concretely I've made kind of generic actions that uses "Class" and "MethodUtils" to perform basic actions on beans. These actions are commonly shared by all of my applications but the thing is that these actions need a package prefix to create objects with Class.forName. This package prefix is different from an application to another.
If I implement your concept I'd have the same constant value (package prefix) for all my apps. So basically I need a constant value initialised in the web.xml and accessible from any action. Thank you again Amine -----Message d'origine----- De : Sumit S.

Hope this helps...

I already have a "MyActionMapping" that extends the ActionMapping and owns a parameter. I would like to initialise this parameter with a constant value. Then I would access it with a getXXX in every actions. It's like if I'd do a myActionMapping.setXXXX just once for all my application. Is there a way to configure web.xml so that it initialises a MyActionMapping parameter while initialising my app? If you know another way to do that (extending ServletAction? if so, how to access the parameter from within an action?) I'd be happy to read you.
