But if all you want to do is be able to set a couple of labels from the configuration. You could also do something like:
<action name="ReportSelectionAction" class="com.generate.web.action.reports.ReportSelection"> <param name="label1">This is Label 1</param> <param name="labal2">This is Label Two</param> <result>/reports/IncomeReportselection_struts2.jsp</result> <result name="failure">login.jsp</result> </action> Then in your action if you have: public class MyAction { private String label1; private String label2; public String getLabel1() { return label1; } public void setLabel1(String label1) { this.label1 = label1; } } Then all the configuration is in the configuration file and you don't have a bunch of if/then/else blocks in your execute method.
