Thanks Niali: Do you have any examples or pointers for writing reset method of ActionForm ? Should checkbox attribute in question in my ActionForm be Boolean or it can be String type? Right now I have it as String and value coming from DAO are "Y"/"N" which I change it to "yes"/"no" before/after talking to form from Action. Thanks. Digant

Browsers only transmit values when the checkbox is "checked" - in the reset method of your ActionForm set the "lockedFlag" to the false value.
