Subject: RE: How to read a parameter in web.xml from Action class
One more addendum to this.
In case you want this intialization parameter to be
available to all the servlets in your web application, then
it should be defined like this in web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>myParamName</param-name>
<param-value>myParamValue</param-value>
</context-param>
Now you can call getInitParameter("myParamName") on the
ServletContext to retrieve it's value.
ServletContext ctxt = servlet.getServletContext();
String sname = ctxt.getInitParameter("myParamName");
OR
String paramValue =
request.getSession().getServletContext().getInitParameter("myParamValue");
There is one ServletContext per "web application" per Java Virtual Machine.
If intialization parmaeter is defined for a specific servlet, then it'll be
accessible only by this servlet. To retrieve this parameter need to call
getInitParameter() on this servlet.
Hope it clears your doubt.

Try using the below mentioned code to read intialization parameter
defined in the Web descriptor file.
String sname = servlet.getInitParameter("myParamName");
OR
ServletConfig config = servlet.getServletConfig();
String sname = config.getInitParameter("myParamName");
'servlet' is a field defined in Action class, so it can be used in your
action class.
It returns the controller servlet instance (i.e instance of the
ActionServlet ) to which
the Action clas is attached to.

Ashutosh

CORRECTION:
request.getSession().getServletContext().getInitParameter("myParamName");
