Just an FYI, this did not work. I don't believe it's a reset() issue. From other threads, it's the way an http request is sent when no checkboxes are selected. Since nothing gets sent, nothing gets changed. I will write some JavaScript to manually check to see if anything has been checked. If no boxes are checked, I will artificially create a form element that has the same name as the checkboxes.
That's my solution.

So when you hit submit, Struts will invoke form.reset() which will reset all your form properties to their initial values. If you declare your initial value as an empty array (as above), then if nothing is checked, the array will be empty. If something is checked, it will be populated by the values in the request.
