So are you suggesting that I pass the request object to my ActionForm
constructor when I create it in my action?

Use the request argument to get the session and then get the locale out of
the session using getAttribute(Action.LOCALE_KEY). If you have a shared base
class for all of your forms (that extends ActionForm) it might make sense to
put a getLocale(request) method in there.
