Joshua, The reset method is called BEFORE the form bean is populated from the request. Therefore, it is not possible to lose any data from the user's form post. So, the basic flow is: create or reuse Form bean > reset > populate > validate > Action perform or execute > return forward.

To properly set my boolean values (radio buttons), my reset method sets my booleans to false. If I leave my form in session, doesn't the controller call the reset method after every after every request? If my booleans equal "true", by the time I get to my "viewIt" action, won't they be reset to false? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 8:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Beginner question Have you tried putting itemId into session context instead of request context? _____ Thank You Mick Knutson Sr. Designer - Project Trust aUBS AG, Financial - Zürich Office: +41 (0)1/234.42.75 Internal: 48194 Mobile: 079.726.14.26 _____ -----Original Message----- From: White, Joshua A (CASD, IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 2:00 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Beginner question I have two struts actions: "insertIt" - adds an item to the database. When successful, this action forwards to the "viewIt" action putting the newly inserted items itemId into the request. "viewIt" - views an item by itemId (retrieves itemId from request) When "insertIt" successfully completes, It forwards to "viewIt" without a redirect. As many of you know, if the user then refreshes the page, the insert action is performed again. To solve this problem, I changed the redirect attribute to "true". The refresh problem disappears. However, the request variable "itemId" gets lost because of the redirect. I know this is something every struts developer has worked through. Could someone suggest a pattern for this type of transaction?
