Scott, You should be able to open the web.xml with the commons digester. Do you have an example of your "context-param" from your web.xml and whatever "xml" objects you nested it inside? Is it at top-level (directly under "<webapp ...>" or inside another component? I've never used a context-param in web.xml before so I would need an example to help further.

Hello, I have ran into a snag and I hope someone has an answer, or clue on this. I am using a set of DatabasePooling classes to handle all my database needs. I store the dbID in the web.xml file as a context-param. Prior to using Struts, I would create a bean using <jsp:useBean and since this was a bean, I would just pass in the dbid at creation time. No big deal. Now when I am using struts, I do not understand how to get the value into my classes that extend ActionForm (my new beans). I know this appears simple, but I am not using DynaAction forms, I am using ActionForms. I see how the Dyna can take parameters, but I do not see that for ActionForms. Also I do not want to duplicate the dbid connection string and put it in the struts-config.xml file. I want to keep it in the web.xml file.
