Hi Chris, I'm not sure if struts has a feature that would read property files and put them in the Application scope for you automatically.
You can have a look at http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/userguide/user_guide.html which will allow you to read the properties file. Then you have several options for exposing the properties to your Actions, one of them would be to store an object in the Application map and have your actions implement ApplicationAware.
