RE: cant reset form
Isn't there two different reset methods. One taking in Request params and other taking in HTTPRequest params? Maybe you have the wrong one overridden? Shawn D. Garner -Original Message- From: Chris Pat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 10:04 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: cant reset form Hello I have an app with three fields on the form.

Re: cant reset form
Hi Paul Sorry. The more I think about there are probably better and more secure ways to do and not to do it. I was thinking of form with fields that "remembered" the last n number of entries and made then available on a combo box in the field for repeated entry. It definitely would not be good for a banking but there likely some legitimate or enduser convenience uses. It really explores what can be done with an ActionForm. I know the answer is probably, "anything you want, it is a bean". Sorry if I just wasted you and others time. --- Paul Benedict <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>Not to be greedy, however is it possible to have a > >>form dynamically save and make selectable the > previous > >>field entries? > > You need to be more clear.

RE: cant reset form
Chris,
What do you want to do, push the results onto
a stack/list to pop them back out if you need
to change something, or would an HTML form's
reset button work for you (as a client-side
solution).
Regards,
David

Hi Paul
A very complete and informative answer. I learned.
Thanks.
Not to be greedy, however is it possible to have a
form dynamically save and make selectable the previous
field entries? From this discussion it seems like no.
Is that something you would do in the ActionForm?
Broadly speaking, how much processing can I do in an
ActionForm? Right now I just see it as a passive
conduit into the Action, maybee with validation. Are
they useful beyond that?

Re: cant reset form
Pat, forms are stored in the sesion. If you want to reset it, simply remove it
from the session
like the following: request.getSession(false).removeAttribute("yourFormName");
The next time Struts invokes the action, it will re-create it if it is missing.
So you're learning
the downside of using session forms, which is that you have to clear it out of
memory when you're
finished.

Re: cant reset form
Thanks Pat & rajasekhar I will do that. However is there a way to stop the serialization or force the clearing of the form fields and keep the session otherwise instantiated? I can see the need store/create objects in the session, possibly with a form bean, but want my fields clear. Just a newbie.

Re: cant reset form
Pat, It's possible by restarting the tomcat server, you're serializing the session -- it's called a "sticky session" -- which sticks around between restarts. I am not aware of anyone using reset(). If you also need to clear the form fields, why not use a request scope form? It sounds like you have your form in session scope so the last submit is always in memory; set scope="request" on the definition and this will solve it. --- Chris Pat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello > I have an app with three fields on the form.
