I don't know if this answers the first part of your question. But in your
third paragraph where you seem to reframe the question. What I've done in
that case was to create servlet who's sole purpose is to initialize certain
parameters (database properties, other static properties, etc). The servlet
loads at startup before the struts servlet. I hope this helps. I've been
doing struts for a whole 2 days now!
