Using Parameter in Action via the struts-config.xml

[Anand Patil <ap...@syndera.com>]

Hi All,
  The struts configuration DTD supports having a "parameter" attribute
to a "action". But how can I get the value specified in the "parameter"
attribute in my action class. Also using "set-property" inside a
"action" tag does not work? Anyone have any idea about this?

ActionMapping.getParameter() will get you the value of the parameter
attribute.

It works for me. You have to subclass ActionMapping and declare it in your
struts-config file.

<action-mappings type="com.companyname.SubclassedActionMapping">


So when you use set-property, Struts can set those values using reflection.
My guess as to why
its not working is that it silently fails to set those properties because
they don't exist
in the default ActionMapping class.
