Struts Bug? My Bug? Help!! Please!

[Becky Moyer <ju...@hotmail.com>]

   I've got a multibox/iterate combination form.  My webapp works when there 
is something to submit.  When I check at least one value checked in my 
multiboxes, I get the expected result.  When there is nothing checked in my 
multiboxes, my form object is the same as it was before I changed the 
checkboxes.  For example, I'll have 4 checkboxes displayed, representing 4 
strings, String1, String2, String3, String4.  I will check String2, press 
submit, and I receive the correct form in my ActionClass.  After updating 
the form object and returning to my multibox page, if I uncheck String2 and 
submit, the form I receive contains String2 as being checked.

My form contains 3 String arrays, one of which contains links, one contains 
the string names, and the other contains the string names which are checked.

I have done as much testing as I can, gone through my code, and cannot find 
a bug.  Is this a bug (or perhaps it is a "feature" ;-) ) of Struts?

If this isn't enough info, I can send code.  What is going on?

Thanks so much!
Becky

Hi Becky,

   Did you override the reset () method of ActionForm?  If you didn't you
need to set the Attribute of your ActionForm object that represents the
multibox to null.

Like:

    public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {

        this.action = "Create";
        this.autoConnect = false;
        this.yourMultiboxNames = null;

    }
