Hi, According the struts documentation the default implementation of reset() does nothing, so calling super() will have no effect. When you override a method it is up to you to call super() or not, in this case I do not believe it is required.
You only need to reset form elements that DO NOT submit a value when not checked (eg checkboxes) - I *think* this is only an issue for session scoped forms.

With all your help now I understand the reset method. What I want to know is, in reset method in my formbean do I have to call the super.reset() ??? When initialize is used on a form property and if super.reset() method is not used, in the reset method, will there be any problems/issues. Would like to know about this. I wrote the reset method without calling super.reset() statement. But I was told that I need to call super.reset() from the reset method of formbean. I was not clear on why I need to do this. Trying to get answers for this.
