Also, if someone is accessing an action mapping from outside the website the solution Jerome provided will set the default values even without the querystring. <html:link> only works if you are accessing the url from within the website and can access the forward param ensuring that the querystring will exist. I like having a way of providing the default values when the url is accessed from any avenue.

Good point :-D. I haven't used that feature. So, it wansn't on the forefront of my mind. However, there are some legitimate times to provide non-form based runtime info to the action class. The technique expressed by Jerome is great. Also, Jerome's technique is good for those who do not use jsp tags.

Couldn't you define a forward in struts-config that contained your default query string parameters? Then you could change it in one place by using the <html:link> tag to lookup the forward.
