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. -- Frank W.
