You may need to provide some more information, but I'll mention what I'm assuming, then give a suggestion.
I'm assuming you're first running through an action, then forwarding to this
jsp in which you're trying to generate a hyperlink via html:link. If the FormBean is not populated, it could be because the action is not populating it. A general
pattern is to do some data access in the action, get the data as a regular Bean, then copy the fields over into your FormBean, then forward to the jsp.
Try looking at the action that is forwarding to this jsp, and see what it's doing as far as populating the FormBean.
