You'll probably want to write a Struts plug-in. There's not much to it... Add an
entry to your struts-config.xml file, something like so:
<plug-in className="com.company.app.plugins.AppInit" />
And then write a class along these lines:
package com.company.app.plugins;
public class AppInit implements PlugIn {
public void init(ActionServlet servlet, ModuleConfig config) throws ServletException
{
// Do your work here
}
public void destroy() {
}
}
What you actually do in init() is completely up to you (destroy doesn't have to do
anything, but IIRC you have to implement it). I know for me when I've done things
like what you describe, such as reading in a config file as I do in one particular
app, I simply have a class called AppConfig with a single static HashMap in it where I
put the config values parsed from my XML at startup. Simplistic, but it gets the job
done. There's no rules though, it's up to you.
