InputText issue with Struts

Question

I'm using jsf 1.1 with struts 1.3.5 and am experiencing an issue with the inputText element. The problem is the name attribute being generated is not allowing the form bean's attributes to be set. For example:
<h:inputText id="username" value="#{loginForm.username}"/>
generates
<input id="_idJsp3:username" name="_idJsp3:username" type="text" value=""/>
The issue being the name of the field is _idJsp3:username so the form property 'username' is not getting set. I've tried removing the inputText tag and replacing it with this:
<input name="username" type="text"/>
And it works. What's the deal? I know a lot of people have used/are using JSF and struts together, what am I doing wrong?
By the way, this is the last hurdle i need to clear so any help would be appreciated.

first - thanks for your reply
I can understand what you mean , to adhere to the MVC conception , we need to have any action go through the controler .
but , once I wanna access to a jsp file , then I need to set a global-forward and a ForwardAction , when time goes by, and the project keeps getting larger , so there will be too many forwards and FrowardActions , right ?
actually , I have a Office.jsp , which has a frameset inside , left and right,each invokes a jsp file like this :
<frameset rows="*" cols="144,*" framespacing="2" frameborder="NO" border="2" bordercolor="#CC0000">
<frame src="OfficeLeft.jsp" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frame src="Notification.jsp" name="RightFrame">
</frameset>
when I have successfully forwarded to this Office.jsp , it prompts OfficeLeft.jsp and Notification.jsp are not available. so my problem is I don't know how to get this work fine .
