On JTable we have:
/**
* Resets the default properties
* @return void
*/
function reset()
{
$k = $this->_tbl_key;
foreach ($this->getProperties() as $name => $value)
{
if($name != $k)
{
$this->$name = $value;
}
}
}

The getProperties() take the list from JObject:
function getProperties( $public = true )
{
$vars = get_object_vars($this);
if($public)
{
foreach ($vars as $key => $value)
{
if ('_' == substr($key, 0, 1)) {
unset($vars[$key]);
}
}
}
return $vars;
}

Now my doubt: I thought that "reset" method meant to set variables at default values(the initial values). Is this true?
If the answer is yes, I think we've a problem on get_object_vars that gives the values of the object. Probably we should use get_class_vars.
Thank you,

I tested it. The reset has no effect because the get_object_vars on getProperties() gives exactly how the variables are set. So can somebody explain me what is the target of this method (reset)?

I've some proposal,
on JObject:



on JTable:
