I'm trying to understand ActionForms a bit better and here is my
question:
If the servlet controller automatically invokes the reset() method
before passing the ActionForm bean to the Action implementation class
instance, how can you use the form's properties' values in your action?
After reset() is invoked, struts populate the ActionForm Bean .
FYI: Struts populate ActionForm Bean with all request params 
(post/get/...) using reflection.


Is this why in the action, you need to downcast the form argument passed
by the controller servlet to your Actionform as such:
String userName = ((LoginForm) form).getUserName();

We downcast in Action because in Action we receive base class "ActionForm".
