That's exactly what you should be doing

"searchType" should be saved as an attribute of (preferably) your request
object. Actually, a local variable should also work, you can define it using
the <c:set...> JSTL tag.

Actually, you shouldn't need to specify a "value" here at all. The
<html-el:text...> tag will get the default value from your form bean.
