Description

When the struts filter initializes I'd like to do some additional work (such as forcing the Freemarker configuration to initialize before the first request). However, I can't find a way to get access to the Container (or the Dispatcher which would give me the container) in a subclass of StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter. It would be great if some hook could be provided for subclasses. Thanks!
