You can use a deliminated list of items, and then use the String
tokenizer to pull them out.
StringTokenizer helperClasses =
new StringTokenizer(mapping.getParameter(),";");
int i = -1;
Object[] helpers = new Object[helperClasses.countTokens()];
while (helperClasses.hasMoreTokens()) {
String helperClass = helperClasses.nextToken().trim();
if ((helperClass==null) || (helperClass.length()==0))
continue;
// ...
}
You can also extend ActionMappings and use the digester <set-property>
feature to set your own properties. Matt Raible does this with his
workflow extension.

After that, you're into modifying how the ActionServlet parses the
config.
