This is execution path (is that correct term?): Identify the path to select mapping, Set the locale Set the content-type and non caching headers Preprocess Identify mapping Check if a role is required to perform the action Retrieve or create the form and store in scope Call reset() Populate the form ******* called here.
So the bean is created when its populated, let me reassure you:) Its still much better to put business logic somewhere else than your reset method. chanoch ------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
