You need to always reset them I believe. Reason: When your form submits, those checkboxes that are unchecked will not be sent to the server as parameters.
This means you have no way to detect a user 'unchecking' a checked checkbox. Solution: Reset checkbox values to unchecked (false) and Struts will happily set the ones the user did select to checked (true). This way, you can accurately determine which ones the user wants checked. If you don't use this method, you wind up not clearing a checked checkbox when the user says to.
