no you can tell it to use it.
in your struts config you have a "name" parameter of
the form and scope="session"
if you
request.getSession().setAttribute("<name>", object);
this would do what you are looking for.
I try and shy away from this as much as possible since
it should not be necessary.
Before arriving at the action the form will be
instantiated and placed in the proper scope. In the
execute() method the form is only null if it is not
configured in struts-config. It may not contain data,
since the empty constructor is called by struts.
