Ben, To me it looks like ActionServlet.java Case doGet() and doPost() call method ActionServlet.process() (process HTTP request) calls ActionServlet.processPopulate() which calls the formInstance.reset() method. // Populate the bean properties of this ActionForm instance if (debug >= 1) log(" Populating bean properties from this request"); formInstance.reset(mapping, request); //place the mapping's multipart request handler class //into the request to be read by the BeanUtils.populate //method in the event of a multipart request request.setAttribute("org.apache.struts.action.mapping.multipartclass", mapping.getMultipartClass()); //also pass the mapping through the request request.setAttribute("org.apache.struts.action.mapping.instance", mapping); BeanUtils.populate(formInstance, mapping.getPrefix(), mapping.getSuffix(), request); "SHROM,BENJAMIN (HP-USA,ex1)" wrote: > Hello, > > When does reset(..) in ActionForm being called ? > > >From API: > "This method is called before the properties are repopulated by the > controller servlet." > > What are the cases when it happens? > > Regards, > Benjamin.
