If i understand your problem, I had same problem last week, this is my solution
in the formbean :
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
{
// init formbean
setText_search(" ");
setType_search("Begin");
}
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
{
// if action is not triggered by reset button, validate the data
if (request.getParameter("reset") == null)
{
...........
}
}
else // if action triggered by reset button, initialise data
{
reset(mapping, request);
request.removeAttribute("reset");
}
return errors;
}
in the jsp :
<html:form method="POST" action="/freeSearch.do" >
<html:radio property="type_search" value="Begin"/> A
<BR>
<html:radio property="type_search" value="Middle" /> B
<BR>
<html:text property="text_search" size="40" maxlength="80"/>
<html:submit value="Search" />
<html:submit value="reset" property="reset"/>
</html:form>

I am not sure what are you talking about.
Anyway, if you have a suggestion please
let me know. What I explained you wasn't
clear I guess.I press the reset button and
the radio buttons don't get cleared. Any
ideas ?(only one this time)
Thanks
Priyank

Ok, first of all, its probably not a good idea to have.. 'when the user hits the back
button it should...' in any of your use cases....but since we all deal the cards we
are dealt, lets deal with this.
The user hitting the back button has nothing to do with the scope of your bean. When
the user hits back, the page is pulled from memory on the users pc (or from disk,
depending on which browser and version)
If the user then hits the reset button, the form should clear back to original values.
This reminds me about a debate I had with PHBs over the difference between "resetting
the form" and "clearing the form". They lost of course.
Anyway, hope that helps you a little.
