 * <code>reset</code> method no longer initializes property values to those
 * specified in <code>&lt;form-property&gt;</code> elements in the Struts
 * module configuration file.  If you wish to utilize that behavior, the
 * simplest solution is to subclass <code>DynaActionForm</code> and call
 * the <code>initialize</code> method inside it.</p>
