How to clear form fields!

Hello

how to clear search fields in form after search is done.
The corresponding search method in controller is. The result is displayed but also search fields aren't empty.

@RequestMapping("searchaction.html")
	public ModelAndView searchAction(
			@ModelAttribute("account") Account account) {

		
		List<Account> result = accountDao.findByExample(account);

		Map<String, Object> modelMap = new TreeMap<String, Object>();
		modelMap.put("result", result );
                //this does not help
		modelMap.put("result", new Account ());

		return new ModelAndView("account_list", modelMap);

	}

If you want to clear the fields you need to reset/clear the BindingResult of the corresponding object. Just putting a new instance of the object in the model isn't going to help.
