You will need the form bean on the 1st use because the jsp it forwards to has the form on it & struts will try to populate the form from the form bean (I am making an assumption here - it's possible it would look at the mapping, see no form bean & the <html:text > tags would just default to blanks - but I doubt it).
When redisplaying the form with errors you'll go through the 2nd mapping that has the form Bean specified so no problems there.
