Frank, I think you are on to something here. Why don't you subclass ActionMapping and in your subclass put your member variable and getter and setter. You can then access the value from your action class's excecute method's mapping parameter after you cast it to your ActionMapping subclass?

I also tried changing the data type for passwordDisabled to a String and have the normal get/set methods but that didn't seem to change the outcome either. I think the real problem is that it is trying to call setPasswordDisabled on org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping instead of my LoginAction class. Not sure if this is a known "you can't do that" or a known bug or whatever (I'm using struts 1.1.0). I was unable to find any info on this topic either in the archives or on jakarta.apache.org.
