Initialize a value in the state object.

[Giaccone, Anthony CTR DTIC-A]

Here's what I want to do..

I have a form that holds a variety of data, which the user will use to
generate a query.  The query data is persistent at the session. This
wayIf they wander down a path, eventually they'll return to the "main"
page, and the query data will be returned from the "session" and they'll
be ready to query based on the data that was last entered. 

This all works fine and dandy. 

What I want to do now, is set a value in this persistent object when the
object is created. To provide a default value for one (or more) of the
query parameters. 

Imagine for instance that you want to search a queue of beans for those
beans that are in state "Pending"  as the intial state of the query
page.

This seems like a perfect place to use Hivemind. The query data is
already constructed by Hivemind. 

Here's the XML for the query data in the hivemind.xml

<module id="mil.dtic.mipr" version="1.0.0">
        <contribution
configuration-id="tapestry.state.ApplicationObjects">           
                <state-object name="queryData" scope="session"> 
                        <create-instance 
        
class="mil.dtic.j2ee.Hibernate.QueryForms.MiprQueryItem" />
                </state-object>
        </contribution>
</module>

So my question is.. How do I convince Hivemind to set the property
status on the object MiprQueryItem to the value of "Pending".
