> When wishing to have a default value for the binding of a form widget, it is
> required to make use of a hack like this:
>                       for (var iter = form.form.getChildren() ; 
> iter.hasNext() ;) {
>                               var child = iter.next();
>                               if
> (child.getClass().getName().equals("org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Field") 
> &&
> child.getDatatype().getTypeClass().getName().equals("java.lang.Long") &&
> child.getValue() == null) {
>                                       child.setValue(new java.lang.Long(-1));
>                               }
>                       }       
> It would be great to add an attribute on <fd:datatype>, for example:
> <fd:datatype base="long" default="-1"> to have a default value that could be
> used in the binding.
