I have a list generated from a database table:

<h:selectOneRadio value="#{bean.areaSelected}">
<s:selectItems value="#{area}" var="_area" label="#{_area.name}" />
<s:convertEntity />
</h:selectOneRadio>

looks like:

O north      O south      O east   O west

User can select one area at a time.
But when the page loads initially no area is selected and the resultant dataTable displays all areas.
But what I want is:

O all areas  O north      O south      O east   O west

I tried using noSelectionLabel:

<h:selectOneRadio value="#{bean.areaSelected}"
 noSelectionLabel="All areas" >
<s:selectItems value="#{area}" var="_area" label="#{_area.name}" />
<s:convertEntity />
</h:selectOneRadio>

The page initially loads normally,  'all areas' radio button is displayed(but not selected by default) and dataTable correctly displays all areas.  But when I select the all areas radio button the page blows up (I will post the exact error when I get back to my computer).  If hit the browser back button, the all areas radio button is selected and correct data is displayed.

Is there a way I can have an all areas button and have it selected by default at page load?  Or will this not work with radio buttons?
