You can do similar things in Actions, to a degree... you an do...
String myParamValue = getServlet().getInitParameter("myParamName");
...to get the parameter from within execute().
If you are looking to read things like this only once at startup, you want
to look at a Struts plug-in or, probably better, a context listener.
I think, generally-speaking, people tend to put their application-specific
configuration information into an external file (be it XML or properties,
or something else) and read it in on app startup in one of the two ways I
mentioned.
If you want to go the listener route (which I recommend because its more
portable, i.e., not Struts-specific), have a look at the
AppConfigContextListener component of my Java Web Parts project
(http://javawebparts.sf.net). Even if you don't use it specifically, it
should serve as a good reference for a context listener.
