This is more of an HTML question rather than a JSP question,
You have to add the parameter
selected="selected" for the Option element you want to be selected by default.
An example is as follows:-
Consider you combobox has four elements Volvo, Saab, Fiat and Audi and you want Fiat selected by default, then you would have to do the following:-
<html>
<body>
<form action="">
<select name="cars">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="fiat" selected="selected">Fiat</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
