Sorry, I missed the part that said your form was in the
session.
And I also forgot that I do subclass my DynaValidatorActionForm and
add the following code to the reset().
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
this.initialize(mapping);
}
It works for me. Good luck with your solution.
