The method has been deprecated since struts 1.1: so it can't work in struts
1.0.2

To populate a form from an action, you need to cast the ActionForm passed as
parameter to the perform (or execute) method of your action and then, set
the different properties to the appropriate values:
for example:
MyForm myForm = (MyForm) form;
myForm.setMyField("myValue");

I don't know what you mean with "call a Form".
You just need to set the properties of the form with the values you want
Then, the taglib will display the values in the field of the form, on your
JSP.
