I'm using the ContextLoaderPlugIn & the DelegatingTilesRequestProcessor to wire up my Struts actions with their Spring bean dependencies.

All my Actions are subclasses of MySuperclassAction & MySuperclassAction has a couple of its own properties for menu creation & page security.

I've got this working but in action-servlet.xml I have the menu creation & page security beans defined for each subAction, i.e. many times over.

Is there a way I can define them once as properties of MySuperclassAction?
(I never call MySuperclassAction itself, so there is no path to it or entry for it in action-servlet.xml.)

... feeling I've messed up somewhere... :?

Cheers,
Louise
