I was under the impression that the form bean itself is a 'gimmie' and
does not explicitly need to be set in the request scope (or any other
scope for that matter).

For example, the 
<html:text property="displayName" size="25" />
tag works without needing the 'name' property, so somehow the
<html:text> tag knows to look in the form bean in this case. I could
do something like you mention, but this page seems to indicate that I
can use ${dynabean.map.prop}

http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/building_controller.html#dyna_action_form_classes

I even changed it back to org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm just
to make sure it's not a LazyValidatorForm issue, but I still got
nothing. Both implement org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean so it
should work in both cases (I think).
