What happened to getDynaActionFormClass( )?
I notice DynaActionFormClass.getDynaActionFormClass( ) is gone in the
last beta. I was using it to pre-fill dynamic form classes. What am I
supposed to be using? setDynaActionFormClass is still there.

All the ModuleConfig instances for all your modules are in servlet context
attributes, so they are accessible from application scope. The attribute
key is "org.apache.struts.action.MODULE" plus your module prefix (if
you're using multiple modules).
If you are processing a request that came in through the controller
servlet (the recommended practice), the ModuleConfig for the current
module will have been exposed as a request attribute under the same key
("org.apache.struts.action.MODULE") as well.

Sounds to me like you're trying to mix too much logic into your pages --
submitting to an Action that sets up the next beans for you is the better
style.

Thanks. This works well when I am inside an action. But I have one place
I want to do it from a JSP. I don't know how to fill in the parameters
from a JSP. To get the ActionMapping I need the ModuleConfig. But I
can't call my servlet instance to get the module config because that
member is protected. Probably to prevent me from trying to do exactly
what I am trying right now.
My end goal is to fill a dynamic form field with a default if it is
specified as a URL parameter. I can do this if the parameters first go
to an action mapping. But I would prefer to not have the extra step and
just fill it in with some JSP code.

RequestUtils.createActionForm(), which does all the required work for
either standard ActionForm or DynaActionForm type form beans.
