warn if form values initialized

           Summary: warn if form values initialized
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.0 Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hauser@acm.org


especially, when a checkbox Boolean is initialized (not in a form constructor,
but upon variable declaration), it shows odd behaviour:

if the default is false, all seems fine.
if the default is true, the form sets the value to true even the user never
checked anything.

Probably, when it is false, it is considered unchanged by user input while if it
is set true, it assumes that there is user input even though there isn't any.

==> Suggestion:
Warn if form variables are initialized.
- at least in debug mode.
