Answer
Yeah that is right if you print that particular data or property into the jsp then you need to use that particular bean that you have config into the struts-config.xml file.
and that way you can access that data.
for example into the struts-config.xml
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="xyz" type="package.xyz"></form-bean>
</form-beans>
and into the jsp page for print data. eample
<bean:write name="xyz" property="name"/>
