Clear my Confusion......Form Beans .????!!!!!

["Abhinav (Cognizant)" <Ab...@cal.cognizant.com>]

I type a url in browser address bar to invoke a JSP. 
1. The form action of this page is mapped to a bean. This bean is created before the page is loaded in the browser. 
2. This page is submitted to another action. 
3. That action is also mapped to a bean.
 4. When submitted(step 2), bean of step 1 is created once again. 
5. reset of this bean is called. 
6. bean of step 3 is created. 

Scope of all beans are specified as 'request'.
 I have put log statements in Bean Constructors and reset methods. 
I want to know why is the reset method called even though a new bean is being created.

Thanx,
Abhinav

HI,
struts  will call the reset , irrespective of being created a new bean or
reusing it. it  gives a chance to initialize the variables
probably , struts developers feel this the right place always to
initialize/reinitialize
