Still confused. So in my reset method, I run through all my beans and if
the property is false, I set it false again? Does not compute? I guess I'm
not sure how to get the "corresponding" boolean property?
What I have is a list of checkboxes that may be initialized to true or false
depending on the beans state. When a user "unchecks" one of these, how do I
know which property to set to false in the reset method?
