Try using the below mentioned code to read intialization parameter
defined in the Web descriptor file.
String sname = servlet.getInitParameter("myParamName");
OR
ServletConfig config = servlet.getServletConfig();
String sname = config.getInitParameter("myParamName");
'servlet' is a field defined in Action class, so it can be used in your action class.
It returns the controller servlet instance (i.e instance of the ActionServlet ) to
which
the Action clas is attached to.

CORRECTION:
request.getSession().getServletContext().getInitParameter("myParamName");
