use request.getSession().getServletContext() in the action class to receive the context of the struts action servlet, and you can use the action class to set a property of the action form as you would do it if you want to prepopulate form data (a good example is described in http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2004/jw-0913-struts-p3.html using two action classes, one for prepopulating the action form and one for the actual "doing"). also you could implement a class that gets initialized during loading of a webapp (e.g. implementing ServletContextListener ) and gets all data from servlet context into a hashmap, and have a static method that retrieves the data from this hash map.
kr, guenther -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Scott Purcell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 01. März 2005 17:09 An: user@struts.apache.org Betreff: Need Help Passing Data Values To My subclass Action class 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
