I haven't done this, but if you look in the comments at the start of
ActionServlet it say you need to add a "factory" parameter to the web.xml
file, something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>application</param-name>
<param-value>myApp.ApplicationResources</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>factory</param-name>
<param-value>myPackage.myMessageResourcesFactory</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
