           Summary: reset() support for DynaActionForm
           Product: Struts
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: dev@struts.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Handling reset() for certain fields in dyna forms would help with the 
requirements of the <html:checkbox> tag.

There are two approaches I've thought of so far.

1) Simply reset any boolean fields to false inside reset().  This could cause 
backward-compatibility issues if anyone out there is using boolean fields in 
action forms for anything other than checkboxes.

2) Allow the user to configure both an initial value and a reset flag.  This 
could be something like:

<form-bean 
    name="MyForm" 
    type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">
    <form-property 
        name="firstName" 
        type="java.lang.String" />
    <form-property 
        name="lastName" 
        type="java.lang.String" />
    <form-property 
        name="someFlag" 
        type="java.lang.String" 
        initial="false"
        reset="true"/>
</form-bean>

Inside reset(), any property whose "reset" flag is set would be reset to its 
initial value.

This would require both a DTD change, and a way for the DynaActionForm to know 
what form name it is configured for.  For this, FormBeanConfig's 
createActionForm() can be modified to pass along the name onto the 
DynaActionForm it creates.
