Form Bean problem

Hello.

I'm calling a JSP page as the successful outcome of an action, and it's complaining that one of my get methods doesn't exist.  I can't work out what's going on, can someone give me a nudge in the right direction?

The page contains a form, for entering date of birth and marital status (for now, I'm still messing with a test project).  If I define no form bean for this action, I get an error saying it can't find the getter method.  If I define the form bean and leave the Validate() method checking for nulls, I get validation errors (correctly).  If I remove the validation code, then I get the getter method not found error again.    Surely I shouldn't have to define the form bean at all?  

Is there any reference to the flow of methods called between a call to a do and displaying a success JSP anywhere?

--------------Action Mapping------------------------------------------

    <action    path="/callExtraPersonDetails"
               type="com.pancredit.tkbespoke.tjs.strutstest.action.AddExtraPersonDetailsPreAction"
               name="addExtraPersonDetailsForm"
              scope="session"
              input="/AddFindParty/FindPartyResults.jsp">
      <forward name="success" path="/ExtraCustomerDetails.jsp"/>

----------------ExtraCustomerDetails.JSP ------------------
