Browsers do not send a request parameter for check boxes that are not checked. Input of type text is always sent. I'm guessing what you see is the box not being "unchecked"... You need to set it in the reset method.

However, when I leave the page, the value of the checkbox is not preserved. I debugged this a little bit and noticed that in the BackupForm class first the reset(...) function is called and later the isEnable() function, but not the setEnable(boolean e) function. This is very strange, because in the same form I have another input defined as follows: <html:text name="backupform" property="path" size="60" styleClass="input"/> Here the correct value is set during page load as well as after forwarding to the next page. While leaving the page first the reset(...) function of the BackupForm class is called, afterwards the setPath(String p) function and later several times the getPath() function. So where is the difference between a html:checkbox and a html:text? By the way, I'm using Struts 1.1.
