Hi,
i have done some thing like this,
I have a servlet which is loaded while starting the
application, in the init method of this servlet i load
a table and put it in servlet context,
ServletContext oCtx = config.getServletContext();
oCtx.setAttribute("MyTable", myTable);
and then in your Action class u can do the following
MyTable table =
(MyTable)this.getServlet().getServletContext().getAttribute("MyTable")
;
