The bean is a list of gifts (wedding list). The gifts are supposed to be
displayed on a JSP and as they are selected they are removed from the bean
and therefore the jsp. This works for a while, but then suddenly all the
gifts are returned to the bean - even though the removed gifts are not
stored anywhere.
they are added using a standard useBean tag: <jsp:useBean id="items"
class="wedding.ListBean" scope="application" />

When you say 'reset', what do you mean?
How are these beans being instantiated and added to the application?
