Struts bean usage

[Villegas, Courtney]

I have a jsp page and am trying to add text created by a form bean.  I am
using <bean:define id="reports" name="reportsForm"
type="java.util.Collection"/> to define the bean and <bean:write
name="reports" property="report[7].reportID"/> to write the desired
information.  

I am getting the error "Cannot find bean reportsForm in scope null"

Am I referencing my bean incorrectly?

I have appended the form bean that I am using.

Thanks
Courtney
