I'll do soon. I getting acquainted with Struts working with the book Professional Struts Applications. I still have 14 pages ahead the validator framework. But before I jump to it, I'd like to understand why some basics don't work to gain more confidence in the whole framework.

They're being stored in the request. But wait a second. Why do you mean I
don't
need to implement the reset method? The guy in the book states:
"The reset() method is invoked only if the developer has declared that the
ActionForm
class should be stored in the request. This is necessary because Struts
maintains a cache
for each of the ActionForm classes. A single instance of an ActionForm class
can be
shared by multiple users for different reqests at different times. Hence,
the developer must
implement the reset() method to ensure that the end user never gets some
other user's
data"
How does this sound?
