Erik,
I believe your patch will solve my problem but I'm not sure. I have
a page with many multibox tags on it. When I select several of them my form
bean is correctly populated with a string array. If I come back to the page
all the correct boxes are checked. If I remove all the checks and click
submit then my string array is left to what it was before. I assume this is
because there is no mutliboxes being submitted to the server, therefore the
setMethod is never getting called. Is that what you patch fixed, if so do
you know the status of that making it into a build?
Thanks
Jeff

reset is currently not called if <html:form> creates the form bean, which
happens if you go to the JSP page directly without hitting ActionServlet
first.
I've submitted a patch to fix this, but it has not been committed yet.
