Need Help Passing Data Values To My subclass Action class

[Scott Purcell]

I am trying to pass a value that is configured in my web.xml which is my 
"databaseID" that I need in my Action class.
 
I have asked prior, but received no help, so I am trying again. If I have a 
value in the deployment file that I can get out using a ServletContext, how can 
I get that into a subclass of an Action class, or even to a ActionForm 
subclass, since neither extend the HttpServlet class?
 
I would appreciate any input,
Sincerely
Scott
