Perhaps it existed in a previous version but was removed; many of the
Struts taglib tags duplicate functionality that's since been added to
JSTL or JSP EL.

Hmm... funny... this one is still useful, I think, since it connects a
HTML-form element with an ActionForm in Struts.
No non-struts tag will do that.
Sure, you can work-around it -- but not as elegant...

What ActionForm element corresponds to a <label>?

Calling leaner, better code a "work-around" and "not as elegant" doesn't make
it so. Please substantiate those comparatives.

Owen is right that <html:label> seems to have gone away, but the version
number he cited was different from the one you did. Try viewing your Struts
JAR with 'jar tf' and see if the label tag class is even in there. What does
that show you?

What happens if you just use a plain HTML <label> tag instead of the
non-existent Struts <html:label> in your code?
