How to set default value for form: select tag in spring

Question

Can someone tell me how to set the default value in the form: select tag in spring?

I have four auctions. 1) Normal 2) Reverse 3) French 4) Dutch

I use spring form: select and form: parameter tag for the same.

But now the requirement is that Normal should be selected by default.

How do I achieve this?

thanks
