Is there any way to mark an option as selected by default, much like the selected attribute in the HTML option tag like <option value="value1" selected>?

A:
If the path value of the tag matches the value of options value it will automatically be selected. You don't need anything special

I understand that, but some business logic needs me to have a default selected item the first time it loads (subsequent loads, select list goes away and is replaced by a hidden field).

Set that as the default value for that field in command object.

Just use <spring:option Taglib The first one will be automatically selected
<spring:select name="someProperty">
<spring:option value="">Select one</spring:option>
<spring:option value="someValue">Some value<spring:select>
<!--And so on...-->
<spring:select>
or
<spring:select name="someCollection">
<spring:option value="">Select one</spring:option>
<!--Here goes some List added to request-->
<spring:options itemLabel="propertyNameUsedAsLabel" itemValue="propertyNameUsedAsValue"/>
<!--And so on...-->
<spring:select>
