Yes, I'm using form.reset() to initialize my fields but the problem is
I don't want to initialize
the fields if I'm coming into the SetupAction because of a validation error.
I've worked around it for now by looking checking
ActionErrors errors = (ActionErrors)
request.getAttribute(Globals.ERROR_KEY);
boolean haveErrors = (errors != null && !errors.isEmpty());
and then switch on haveErrors.
