Form doesn't clear

Hi,
Using Struts 1.3, Tomcat 6.

I have the two following problems:

1. I have a screen where I enter some text and call a struts action to
insert it into the database. The action calls a DAO to do that.
When the screen returns, the values I entered in the text fields are still
there and I want them to clear. I want the form to be clean.
2. Even after I restart Tomcat and return to this screen the values are
still there. How can this be? This is a brand new request no? So all the
forms and even the struts servlet should've been instantiated anew no?

Thanks,
.

If that is a session scoped form, the values will stay, unless you reset them.

You can set them blank in the action before showing the view.. or put value="" in jsp.

    <html:text property="mydata" value="" styleClass="myStyle" />

Thanks, this is all very helpful. I reduced the scope to "request" in the
action mapping. Additionally since it's a DynaActionForm I provided initial
parameters = "", and in the action class called initialize() on the form.
This solved the problem.

Make sure it's not your browser filling it out and being "helpful".
