param for action in struts.xml

[Steven Yang]

Hi I want to set initial value for an action
I believe the way is
<action name="myAction" class="xxxx.xxx.xxxAction">
   <param name="myParam">myParamValue</param>
</action>

then "myParamValue" will be set to my Action's myParam property.

but i am not getting anything in my action class.
Am i missing something? or its not how it works?

I am using Struts 2.1.8 SNAPSHOT.

Thanks
