Use the form's reset() method (as described in the docs and examples)

I dont know how  this will help.
I have a form with several records, i have an edit buuton for each record.
If a user cliks the edit button i go back to the action class.
here i would like to pick up data from the database, this data i want to
display in the fields of the form(JSP) for the user to edit.
i have this code in the action as usual

if (mapping.getAttribute() != null) {
     if ("request".equals(mapping.getScope()))
      request.removeAttribute(mapping.getAttribute());
     else
      session.removeAttribute(mapping.getAttribute());
   }


this removes the previous form bean instance. SHOULD I REMOVE THIS CODE and
use setter methods to prepopulate the form bean fields
in the action class.
