Somebody somewhere has to create the bean. If there's an html:form tag, it will create the ActionForm bean indicated in the tag properties or by its action-mapping. If the bean is being populated by an Action class, you have to go to the Action first, and then to the JSP. In general, it's best to never link to JSPs, and to always go through action-mappings (/do/* or *.do URIs).
