There is a JSF reset button tag. Use it. It generates an HTML RESET button.

When a form is submitted, the page that the form is on is destroyed, so there's no need to clear it, although since the actual destruction doesn't begin until the new response starts coming in, you might want to forbid multiple submits. Check last week's topics for a discussion on how to handle it.

In the case of an AJAX submit, where the original page is not destroyed, you can refill the form just by making AJAX re-render it. That will cause the current values of the backing bean to be written out to their corresponding form controls.
