Thanks to the newbie Struts 1.2 FAQ, I realized what I was doing wrong.
Now I'd understood how to prepopulate the ActionForm in the Action, and use
Reset method only for View independent initialisation.

Cool
<action path="/FirstAction" type="action.First">
<forward name="success" path="/form.jsp" />
name="Form"
scope="request"
</action>
<action path="/FirstActionSubmit" type="action.FirstSubmit"
name="Form"
scope="request"
input="/form.jsp"
validate="true"

Subject: Re: Strange Form Reset Behavior
In the example below, the "FirstAction" action is responsable for
getting a list from the db and pass it to the form "Form".
During the execution of the "action.First" class, doesn't exists yet
any instance of the form. When the "action.First" class redirects to the
"form.jsp", after loading the refered list, there exists an <htm:form
action="/FirstActionSubmit"> and here the Struts creates a new instance of
the form.
So, how can I pass the list loaded in the "FirstAction" to the "Form",
without using request?
The form instance is only created in the view!
- puzzled! -
<form-bean name="Form" type="forms.Form" />
<action path="/FirstAction" type="action.First">
<forward name="success" path="/form.jsp" />
</action>
<action path="/FirstActionSubmit" type="action.FirstSubmit"
name="Form"
scope="request"
input="/form.jsp"
validate="true"
