There are a couple of different ways to go * Subclass the ActionServlet and do the same thing you did before. Just cast the servlet object of the Actions to your subclass and call whatever you've added. * Load a helper servlet that exposes itself or an object in application scope to return whatever global parameters or other business services you need. * [Struts 1.1] Use a plugin Action to do the same thing. * Use the generic property parameter to the actions that need the String. * Use an ActionMapping subclass and provide your own parameter string to each mapping.
In any case, a good way to go is to load any String parameters from a Properties file. Your servlet or plugin Action can then just load the Properties and everyone else can get what they need from there. There some code for loading Propertoes file in the ResourcesUtil class here: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons-sandbox/scaffold/src/java/org/apache/commons/scaffold/util/ -T.
