Try using a Boolean value, something like this:
private Boolean myBoolean = null;
public boolean getMyBoolean() {
if( myBoolean==null ) return true;
return myBoolean.booleanValue();
}
public void setMyBoolean(boolean value) {
myBoolean = new Boolean(value); // or myBoolean= (value ?
Boolean.TRUE : Boolean.FALSE);
}
public void reset() {
myBoolean = null;
}
This has the desired behaviour of returning true if the value isn't set,
and returning the set value otherwise.

I'm still figuring all this out, but isn't this situation the type of
reason the execute method on Action
receives the original HtttpServletRequest?
if (request.getParameter("booleanValue")==null) {
myBean.setXxx(false);
}
