Your on the right track with the bean. Just make sure it extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm (it won't work otherwise) and then add it to the <form-beans> section of your struts-config.xml file. There are examples already there if you're using one of the struts war files. I tend to start with struts-blank.war when I start my projects.
You won't have to instantiate the bean yourself in the jsp because that will be taken care of by the <html:form> tag. You will have to make sure the name of your form-bean is specified in the name attribute of your <action> entry of the struts-config.xml. Again, the struts war files have examples in their stock standard struts-config.xml files. Also take a look at the struts-examples.war and struts-docs.war files. They are all downloaded together in one archive from the Struts site.
That should get you going.

Quick question -- are you using Struts? I just need to know so I know what to recommend.
I've got to run now and get my exercise. I'll check back later when I get home.

ryeah, ur right i just want to select a default value for the radio button. Radio button has two values a new user and a returning user. user also has a email address.
But i am not sure how exactly this can be done .. should i write a bean class called "User" with 2 properties,
public class User{ Private String emailaddress = null; private String usrType = "new";
//getters and setters; }
And then in jsp <% User usr = new User(); %> when i use the < html:radio tag how can i display that usr?
--please help, i am new to java world

Well....
The checked attribute is without a value. You'll have to set it to something or remove it. As mentioned by Tim Funk, the checked attribute doesn't exist in the API for the <html:radio/> tag.
I'm guessing you want to set one of the radio buttons as a default. If so, you'll have to do something different like set a default value in the bean class when it's initialized.

I bet its:
<html:radio property="checkCustomerType" value="new" checked/>
