Thanks for your reply. So, should I be using a different framework for loading the application properties?
Like Apache commons or Resourcebundle.
I guess, my question is ActionSupport sounds more specific to an Action, is there a generic component within struts that can load not only struts properties, but also application properties.
I'm pretty comfortable and happy that I didnt have to do addl. coding to load props because of ActionSupport but just a little inconvenient to have every class either extend ActionSupport or implement another mechanism to load properties. Does it make sense?
