As often happens with a lot of experimenting, I have figured this one out for myself. I used the form bean for everything. All the documentation that I found didn't indicate that the form bean was actually instatiated upon entry into the page (with a call to reset), and thus I didn't quite understand that using the bean for data output was the proper method. "Programming Jakarta Struts" indicated that this might be the case, but then proceded to state that the form bean was instantiated upon submitting the form, which isn't true. It is created upon entering the page and hitting the <html:form> tag.
