i don't think you need bean:write. did you know bean:message not only takes a key but the trinity of attributes...
i define the trininty of attributes as name, property, scope.... thus, <bean:message name="simpleForm" property="widgetDescription" scope="session"/> the above would call simpleForm.getWidgetDescription(), which would return a key into the resouce bundle. just prep the form before you got to the page by going to an action that loads the form page.
