reset() is NEEDED for correct checkbox handling. It is not mandatory to put code in reset() : this method has a default implementation that does nothing. If you need a "reset all value" method, create a new "resetValues()" metod that does what you need in "real-life", but don't alter reset() mecanism, or you will get at any time (as I did on some struts projects) some complex checkbox bugs. Altering Struts code will make it more complex to give you help if you get bugs or strange behaviour, so I think you should use reset() for checkbox and some other "set to default" struts mecanism, and add your own methods to formbeans as needed.
