Martin,
I have a similar problem too.
May I ask two general questions?
1.When should I use the formBean attribute on the <bean:struts> tag?
2. What is the relationship among ActionForm, actionformbean and actionformbeans.
I tried to find the answer myself, but couldn't. Thanks a lot, and sorry for the dummy questions.

Subject: e: Access to form data.
When you use the formBean attribute on the <bean:struts> tag, you are
defining a bean which corresponds to the ActionFormBean instance for your
form bean definition (i.e. the <form-bean> entry) in struts-config.xml. You
are not defining a bean corresponding to your ActionForm bean itself.
If your form bean exists in some scope already (i.e. either Struts put it
there when processing a request or you put it there when processing an
action), then all you need is:
<bean:write name="yourFormBeanName" property="keyword"/>
where "yourFormBeanName" is the name of the attribute used to store the
bean. If Struts created the form bean for you, the attribute name is the
name you specified in the <form-bean> entry in your struts-config.xml file.
Hope this helps.
