Jack, I've asked for this myself before. I'd still like to see it put in place - maybe XWork will do it? - but for now, you'll have to add some custom code in order to get this done. (Maybe I'll write a patch.)
However... I'm not sure your problem as explained needs the solution you're asking for. Instead of Foo.confPar1, why couldn't you name it MyJavaAction.confPar1 instead? That way, the action doesn't need to know how it's invoked. (The reason *I* want the alias is because it makes programmatic security trivial. MyAction.class can descend from SecurityCheckAction, which examines the alias and checks to see that: 1) the alias is restricted, 2) the user is logged in if it is, and 3) the user can access the alias if restrictions are in place to that degree... and the action, which really doesn't care if the user can use it or not, becomes very simple.)
