Hi i have a doubt about the reset method when the jsp is called.

Please find my code below.

public class GotoIndex1Action extends org.apache.struts.action.Action {
    
    /* forward name="success" path="" */
    private static final String SUCCESS = "success";
    
    /**
     * This is the action called from the Struts framework.
     * @param mapping The ActionMapping used to select this instance.
     * @param form The optional ActionForm bean for this request.
     * @param request The HTTP Request we are processing.
     * @param response The HTTP Response we are processing.
     * @throws java.lang.Exception
     * @return
     */
    @Override
    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {
        System.out.println("from gotoIndex1 from Action"+((GotoIndex1Form)form).isChecked());
        if(((GotoIndex1Form)form).getStop()!= null){
            System.out.println("from index1 from Action"+((GotoIndex1Form)form).isChecked());
            return mapping.findForward("Success1");
        }
        return mapping.findForward(SUCCESS);
    }
}

When i type the url for the jsp page. e.g.http://localhost:8084/TestStrutsCheck/gotoIndex1.jsp

I see the reset method of the form has been called even before the form is submitted and printed out the message.

If it has been called then i think there should be an instance for the form class if so,why is my Logic:present tag fails in that case?(it did not display Hello in the page)

please explain,why struts call reset before displaying jsp?

SCJP 6,SCWCD 5,SCBCD 5

Failure is not an option.

Struts calls "reset" so the form is reset...

You're searching for a bean with a specified name in scope--that's not the name of the action form that's in scope. ActionForms are in scope under whatever key Struts uses to find it (I forget off the top of my head).

please buy this thing and then I get a fat cut of the action:
