You have to use a custom Mapping class. Depending on whether you use Struts 1.0 or the 1.1-dev prerelease you either specify the mapping class globally or for each action mapping. In case of the former - 1.0.x - you use an init parameter called "mapping" when configuring the Action servlet in the web.xml descriptor. In case of the latter - 1.1-dev - you would use the "className" attribute in the action element of the struts-config. (BTW, is there any "elegant" way to globally set the mapping class to be used? I could not find one).
This mapping class should provide the properties in question and appropriate getter and setter methods (in your case "needsLogin"). In the perform() method of your Action class you can then cast the mapping parameter to your custom mapping class and retreive the value for the property.
