I looked for something similar a while back and didn't find anything simple. There are servlet context listeners (but that isn't really struts-2-ish). What I did (and I know it's inelegant) is to create a static initializer block. One main difference to remember between servlets and actions is that servlets are initialized once and remain in memory. Actions seem to be on a one-per-request lifecycle. So, if you have a factory that you want to use, it has to be either static in your action, or static in another class.
