reset-method

[Bjørn Erik Andersson <an...@dph.no>]

Hello,

Does anyone have any code examples or information on how to write the reset() -method in order to reset only checkboxes in a form (and still keep any textbox values etc) ? This to avoid the unselect problems in checkboxes using Struts.

Thanks in advance,

Bjørn Erik Andersson

The default reset() method does not do anything, so the fields you do
not change yourself would not be changed. 

The general advice is to use booleans for checkboxes and set them to
false in reset(). 

Reset() is called before the ActionForm is populated from the request,
and would not change any values (unless you are trying to pass the form
between Actions).
