struts reset() is not called before populating the form

Question

I got a strange (and probably) wrong behaviour here. I was trying to put a checkbox on the page, and you know it: unchecked checkboxes are not written to the request (only checked boxes are)

What struts normally offers is to override:

@Override
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, ServletRequest request)

to reset all the checkboxes to "false". But in my case, this reset() is never called!

Someone got an idea?

Thanks in advance,

mana

Answer 1

The correct method signature to override is

public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
