you can modify the /simple/datetimepicker.ftl to check the dojo value for null
e.g.
assuming your jsp references a nameValue parameter
<s:datetimepicker nameValue="" .../>
change
<#if parameters.nameValue?if_exists != "">
value="${parameters.nameValue?html}"<#rt/>
</#if>
assyming you want the default to be 01/01/2001 change the assignment for value
to
<#if parameters.nameValue?if_exists != "">
value="dojo.${parameters.nameValue?html:"01/01/2001"}"<#rt/>
inputNameValue="${parameters.nameValue?html:"01/01/2001"}"<#rt/>
</#if>
?
