If you just need to load a few properties, you shouldn't have to touch
Struts at all. Just create a file, say,
WEB-INF/classes/db.properties, then load it in your Java code via:

Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/db.properties");

and away you go...

> I'd like to load a file containing the parameters to connect to DB at the

> initialization parameters" (http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/webxml.html)
> and so I add the 2 lines <init-param> to my web.xml like this :
> <filter>
>      <filter-name>action2</filter-name>
>      <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher
> </filter-class>
>      <init-param>
>           <param-name>config</param-name>
>           <param-value>appConfig.xml</param-value>
>      </init-param>
>      <init-param>
>           <param-name>configProviders</param-name>
>           <param-value>
> app.core.configuration.ApplicationConfigurationProvider</param-value>
>      </init-param>
> </filter>
>
> The appConfig.xml is the file where I have my configuration, it is supposed

> app.core.configuration.ApplicationConfigurationProvider is the class
> implementing ConfigurationProvider interface as said in the doc.
> In the init() method of the Provider, I just add "System.out.println("--Init
> plugin begin--");" but it never appears in the log, and I cannot see
> anything neither about the xml file nor the Provider.

> Maybe, I'm totally wrong and there is a better way to load the file where I
