The method I use to is to remove & recreate the form bean. I wouldn't use the reset method - this is not for resetting the form bean in the way you suggest - it is called for you by Struts. Here is the method I use to do this:
public ActionForm recreateFormBean(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException { String attr = mapping.getAttribute(); String scope = mapping.getScope(); if (scope.equals("session")) { request.getSession().removeAttribute(attr); } else { request.removeAttribute(attr); } ActionForm f = RequestUtils.createActionForm(request, mapping, mapping.getModuleConfig(), servlet); if (scope.equals("session")) { request.getSession().setAttribute(attr, f); } else { request.setAttribute(attr, f); } //call reset, as struts would do befor the use of any form bean f.reset(mapping, request); //populate the form bean with any request parameters - from RequestProcessor.processPopulate if (mapping.getMultipartClass() != null) { request.setAttribute(Globals.MULTIPART_KEY, mapping.getMultipartClass()); } RequestUtils.populate(f, mapping.getPrefix(), mapping.getSuffix(), request); // Set the cancellation request attribute if appropriate if ((request.getParameter(org.apache.struts.taglib.html.Constants.CANCEL_PROPER TY) != null) || (request.getParameter(org.apache.struts.taglib.html.Constants.CANCEL_PROPERT Y_X) != null)) { request.setAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY, Boolean.TRUE); } return f; } Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Sebastian Ho [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 9:07 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: how to reset form > > > 1.
