Hi, check in the code...
first: reset() then: populate() at last: validate() You need to do it, if you have checkboxes on your form, cause their value is only transmitted if they are set. Without the reset-methode you have no knowledge when the user deselects them. Easy to try and then you know why the reset() is there. Whether you use setXXX() or just do xXX = any_value does not harm. hope this helps Alexander -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 1:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: reset() in FormBean When is the reset() method of the FormBean called? I know the FormBean's fields are first populated, then it's validate() method is called (if validate="true" in the struts-config.xml), and then the perform() method of the associated Action class is called. -But when is the reset() called? -If I override the method, do I call a series of setXXXX() methods to default values. -Is it not a good idea to override the method? Should I leave it at the default behavior? Any help would be much appreciated.
