One JSP Coded in JSTL with an Action Link and a Form

Question

My JSP written in JSTL with an action link works fine. The checkboxes are well recognized ( I have a "form" specified in both the action mapping and form bean).
<%@ page import="......common.pojo.user.User" %>
<!-- Create a variable in scope called userRows from the Users object -->
<c:set var="userRows" value="${requestScope.Users}" />
<c:choose>
     <c:when test="${not empty userRows}">
          <!-- create a "user" object for each element in the userRows -->               
          <c:forEach var="user" items="${userRows}" varStatus="idx">
                  <c:choose>
                          <c:when test="${( idx.count+1 )%2==0}">
                             <tr class="contentCell1">
                          </c:when>
                          <c:otherwise>
                             <tr class="contentCell2">
                          </c:otherwise>
                  </c:choose>
                                       <td align="center">
                                                          <html-el:checkbox property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].selected" />
                                                          <html-el:hidden property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].id" value="${user.id}"/>
                                       </td>
                                       <td align="center"><c:out value="${user.createdByUserID}" /></td>
                                       <td align="center"><c:out value="${user.firstName}" /></td>
                                       <td align="center"><c:out value="${user.lastName}" /></td>
                         </tr>
          </c:forEach>
                    <tr>
                         <td colspan="6" align="left">
                                  <html-el:link action="/admin/selectUsers.do">Edit Selected Users</html-el:link>
                         </td>
                       </tr>
               </table>
          </c:when>
          <c:otherwise>
               <center><H1>No User Found.</H1></center>
          </c:otherwise>
     </c:choose>
......But, if I add another form (form B) with some textfield(s) and a submit button in between the opening <c:when ...> and <c:forEach ... > tag, I get the "runtime" JSP error: "cannot find bean: "org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN" in any scope".
The form B also works well. And varStatus="idx" and var="user" still work. The complaint points specifically to the <html-el:checkbox property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].selected" />. The getter method for selectedUsers[0].selected can no longer be recognized:
<%@ page import="......common.pojo.user.User" %>
<!-- Create a variable in scope called userRows from the Users object -->
<c:set var="userRows" value="${requestScope.Users}" />
<c:choose>
     <c:when test="${not empty userRows}">
                                <html-el:form action="/admin/findUsers.do">
                                           // many textfields and a submit button
                                </html-el:form>
          <!-- create a "user" object for each element in the userRows -->               
          <c:forEach var="user" items="${userRows}" varStatus="idx">
                  <c:choose>
                          <c:when test="${( idx.count+1 )%2==0}">
                             <tr class="contentCell1">
                          </c:when>
                          <c:otherwise>
                             <tr class="contentCell2">
                          </c:otherwise>
                  </c:choose>
                                       <td align="center">
                                                          <html-el:checkbox property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].selected" />
                                                          <html-el:hidden property="selectedUsers[${idx.index}].id" value="${user.id}"/>
                                       </td>
                                       <td align="center"><c:out value="${user.createdByUserID}" /></td>
                                       <td align="center"><c:out value="${user.firstName}" /></td>
                                       <td align="center"><c:out value="${user.lastName}" /></td>
                         </tr>
          </c:forEach>
                    <tr>
                         <td colspan="6" align="left">
                                  <html-el:link action="/admin/selectUsers.do">Edit Selected Users</html-el:link>
                         </td>
                       </tr>
               </table>
          </c:when>
          <c:otherwise>
               <center><H1>No User Found.</H1></center>
          </c:otherwise>
     </c:choose>

Hi,
your strtus config file looks like
<form-beans >
<form-bean name="manageAuditFindingsForm" type="com.lib.struts.form.ManageAuditFindingsForm" />
</form-beans >
<action
      attribute="manageAuditFindingsForm"
      input="/New.jsp"
      name="manageAuditFindingsForm"
      path="/manageauditfindings"
      scope="request"
      type="com.lib.struts.action.ManageAuditFindingsAction">
      <forward name="success" path="/AuditFindings.jsp" />
    </action>Thanks
