Without going into "why would you want to set them to false" I'd urge you to use your action. This way, the logic isn't coupled with the bean but with the action that presents it. I would give serious thought into whether you actually need to do any such thing at all.....however, you know your business needs better so....

Actually I was just doing it all in the reset to figure out where I was screwing up. The problem is it appears that I do have to do some of this in the reset method since initially I was working on this example using check boxes and I realized I have to reset the car objects boolean property to false. What's the best way to go about this? In other words say you are working on an example where you have objects pretty deeply nested and one of the Lists deeply nested has objects in it where you need to work with checkboxes for the boolean properties. Don't I have to end up creating the whole nested hierarchy all over again just to make sure these boolean properties are reset to false? What's the best way to tackle this situation? Thanks so much for the help so far. -- Rick mailto:maillist@;reumann.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
