application configuration suggestions

[Rob <ja...@hotpop.com>]

I have a number of variables I would like to specify to my application at startup time.
I was wondering what the best method to do this is?  Does struts provide any facilities
related to this?

An example of a configuration value would be that I want to be able to specify the
location of a set of files on the disk.

Hi Rob

If you work with struts 1.1 beta xy you can use a plugin for this. You have
to implement the init() method.

public class InitPlugin implements org.apache.struts.action.PlugIn {


    public void destroy() {
        // code to free resources
    }

    public void init(ActionServlet actionServlet, ModuleConfig moduleConfig)
throws ServletException {
       // Code to initialize your variables
    }

Entry in struts-config.xml :

    <plug-in className="InitPlugin">
    </plug-in>

Struts will call the init() on startup and destroy() on shutdown.
