How to set a radiobutton in <form:radiobutton/> pre-selected?

My code looks as follow:

Code:

---

...
                <td>Male<form:radiobutton path="sex" value="M" /></td>
        <td>Female<form:radiobutton path="sex" value="F" /> </td>
...

---

What I want is: as I start the this page, the radiobutton for "Male" is pre-selected.

Someone knows the syntas?

Initialize your form object with the sex of value M.

You are right.

Thanks.
