Application Scope - Generally, application scope beans are initialized in the
init() method of a startup servlet. However, it is legal for an
Action class to create such beans, if this is appropriate, like this:
Foo foo = ... create a Foo ...;
servlet.getServletContext().setAttribute("foo", foo);

from
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/doc-1.0.2/api/org/apache/struts/taglib/bean/package-summary.html#package_description
a really good bit of doc - once you stumble across it.
