Hi All,
We are using weblogic7.1 struts 1.0 version.We are storing all application specific
parameters in web.xml file.Hence in order to get that value we use following code in
each action class :
getServlet().getInitParameter("INIT_PARAM")
Instead of this what I thought is we can have a common Parent action class which would
load all this paramters and store them as it's attributes.
eg.
public class ParentAction extends DispatchAction
{
protected String INIT_PARAM = "";
public ParentAction ()
{
INIT_PARAM =
getServlet().getInitParameter("INIT_PARAM");
}
}
Other action classes would extend this class instead of extending DispathAction class
directly.
But when I try to get the value of init param in subclasses of parent action class it
gives me an error.
public class LoginAction extends ParentAction
{
public ActionForward log(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception,
IOException, ServletException {
System.out.println(INIT_PARAM); //gives NullPointerException
}
}
I would like to know whether above logic is valid if no is there any other workaround?
Regards,
Shakti
