Like I said, it ought to be so obvious..... That was the whole problem. Here I'm expecting Struts to pass in my subclassed ActionMapping class (since I specified that on the className parameter), never thinking that Struts would instead pass in the base class and then I'd have to cast it over to my subclass. Doh!
