Here is what happens : reset() is called before every form population form population occurs before every struts action url (*.do) is processed.
When an action forwards to another one using <forward path="another.do">, struts actionServlet is called to handle this second URL. FormBean is then reseted and populated from request. If you doesn't use a redirect, request is the same an all parameters are still in it, so formbean is populated the same way for the two actions. If you use a redirect, when first action forwards, a HTTP Redirect response (with location="another.do") is sent to the browser. Browser follows new location and builds a new request, but this new request hasn't any parameter. When form population occurs for "another.do", form-bean is reseted and population has no effect (no parameters !).
