Hi Hans,
you can read default test data from a file, exactly in the same way
you'd read it from a table. E.g.
Given some default test data contained in file://path/to/data/file
and you can also transform its content using a custom TableTransformer.
More in:
http://jbehave.org/reference/stable/tabular-parameters.html
Thereafter it's up to the implementer of the steps classes to interpret
its content.
This solution allow the story writer to have the default test data
accessible and even change it on demand.
It can also be used with page-objects, which would need to be injected
with the data that is being passed to the step.
I hope that help you. If you a more concrete use case or example, feel
free to share it.
Cheers

I am looking for a way how these default test data are self

Stories and example tables are self documenting. I think that
implementing such default test data into Java code or inject it
somehow does not seem to be self-documenting for non-programmers.
The story writers we have are non-programmers. So I have to consider
that skills.
Today I thought it would be nice if a story writer could include a
property file with default test data. If for instance that property is
used in the steps and is included in the story, then that default test
data is used if it is not overwritten by an example table for that
step. So it would be self-deocumenting since it is integrated in the
story in a comprehensible way even for non-programmers I think.
What do you think about supporting that concept?
Or what solution would you recommend exactly to solve this? You wrote
about page objects. I know what they are, but how exactly does a good
solution look like for JBehave?

Steps classes are pojos and you configure/inject configuration as
you prefer.
There is no specific framework for this in JBehave.
