Yes, but what I'm after is being able to dynamically set the initial values. I have an object in the request upon which the initial value depends. So specifying it in the value parameter (unless I used code in the jsp page) isn't any good and initializing it at declaration doesn't help me either because I don't have access to the object in the request.
