If you are also the bean provider, you could add an additional bean field called something like "all" and in its "setAll() call, initialize all of the particular fields you wish to. This may be more efficient than reinstanciating your bean....

The approach I took to solving the same problem is to remove my session-scope bean and then re-instantiate it: <% session.removeAttribute("sRefQueryTerms"); %> <jsp:useBean id="sRefQueryTerms" scope="session" class="org.mdibl.ctd.jsp.beans.RefQueryTermsBean" /> <jsp:setProperty name="sRefQueryTerms" property="*" /> I don't know how (in)efficient this is, but it didn't sound any worse than doing 15 setProperty calls setting strings to null (or ""). /mcr =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
