As David Graham said: "Interesting, but then you're creating a programming
language in XML. I think this logic should be in code."
Occam's Razor (oh-so-trendy these days) would have it that the developer
knows best when a form needs to be reset and to let them call it. Clearly,
reset() needs to be called whenever a form is instantiated to get default
values, but it should not be called by the framework. If the form is in
request scope, the form will be created on Action invocation, semantically
implying reset(). If the form is session based and not a part of the
session, it is created and reset() is called. If the form is a part of the
session already, it is left alone.
Thoughts?
