The fundamental question is, can you afford a page submit for so callled
'reset' button? please change the 'reset' to 'submit' as shown below. Now
when user hits Reset, page is submitted with submit=reset; from this point
onwards you can clean stuff from session.

<html:submit value="reset"> Reset </html:submit> <---------------------
