I have this simple drop down in my jsp page which retrieves the list of the values to be displayed in a collection. When it displays, by default the first entry in the drop down is selected. How would I make some other entry selected by default when the page displays, other than the first one.

I would appreciate if anyone could help me fix this.

Since the <html:select> tag automatically selects the option that matches the value of the form bean property you specify, do one of the following:

1-Override the reset(..) method in your Action form and add the statement:
setCaseStatusI("2");

2-In the Action class that forwards to this JSP, set the caseStatusI property in a similar manner.
