You can't do what you are doing exactly. When you are using the "free" conversion, Struts2 needs to be able to construct your object with a default constructor and that is not going to happen with an interface. So if you want to dynamically determine the implementation of that Object at runtime then you should look into the ModelDriven interceptor.
When your action implements ModelDriven you implement a method called getModel() which returns the implementation you want. It returns an Object but struts will use reflection to find the getters you want from the posted request. In your form you just use name="name" rather than name="user.name". In getModel() you can do things like lookup a Spring managed bean based on a String or whatever factory methodology you want.
