Thanks for setting the context Amine..You can extend the ActionServlet, read the param
from Web.xml and then access the Servlet instance from your Action class by using the
context key Globals.ACTION_SERVLET_KEY...see the javadoc below from the Action
class.....
/**
* The context attributes key under which our <code>ActionServlet</code>
* instance will be stored.
* @deprecated Use Globals.ACTION_SERVLET_KEY instead.
* @since Struts 1.1
*/
public static final String ACTION_SERVLET_KEY = Globals.ACTION_SERVLET_KEY;

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

U can define & use a base Action class that has a static block that sets
the constant....derive all your actions from the base...the base class can
read the value from the envrionment or context.....
Hope this helps...

Subject: Dreaming of a constant value that can be available in all of my

Hello,
I want a constant value that I could use in all of my Struts action.
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.
Regards
Amine
