the wrong syntax seems to come from my previous quick and dirty answer :(
Problems:
1. bean:define value must not be define as body content but as value
attribute.
2. forget about action='<bean:write name="formAction">' it compiles but
the bean:write tag is not interpreted so at runtime the action looked
for is <bean:write name="formAction">
This time I tested the following code sample, it works :)
<bean:define id="formAction" value="/test" />
<html:form action='<%=formAction%>' >
(...)
</html:form>
Hereafter corrections regarding your example

This one should work
<html:form action='<%=formAction%>' focus="username">
I hope this time your problem is solved ...
