Propery way to change getText()'s source

[Security Management <li...@secmgmt.com>]

I would like the getText() methods to pull information from a database
"Meaning" table.

Would the proper way to do that be to subclass ActionSupport and
re-implement that interface?  Then, all my actions inherit from
MyActionSupport, and the getText stuff is different.

If that's not the way to do it, what's the best way?

Thanks,
Mike.

The best way would be to write your code in a class that implements 
TextProvider - 

http://struts.apache.org/2.x/struts2-
core/apidocs/com/opensymphony/xwork2/TextProvider.html

Then, specify your class as the text provider bean in your app.
