David, What you need to do is to create your own custom handling of "Reset".
In the case of your form, I would NOT use a <HTML:Reset>, instead make a <HTML:SUBMIT> but have a javascript snippet that sets a value for a hidden form field, lets call the hidden field "action" and the value would be 'reset'. Then in your LoginAction.java, check the value of the form's action field. If the value is 'reset', reload the original values back from the database. As explained earlier, the first time you come into the page, the values of the form fields are what you set either from a database or from your default values in the struts-config.xml file. When changes were made, submitted, and failed validation, the default values of these fields are the errored values sent with the last form submission. As you have seen, all the normal reset does is restore those values to the defaults for the html page. So the first time you get 'good' defaults and the second time you get 'bad' defaults. By making your own custom 'reset' button you get more control over the action. You could try and fix the errored values for the user in the first place, but that would get around telling them what fields were wrong and why.
