Alternatively, perhaps @RequestParam could take an optional "defaultValue" attribute? It'd have to be a string, subject to the same conversion rules as if the parameter had been present. This would work for primitives as well as reference types.

I agree, a defaultValue attribute would be really helpful here, to mimic the set of functions in ServletRequestUtils that allow a default to be set if it's not present, for example:
ServletRequestUtils.getBooleanParameter(request, name, defaultVal)
