[TYPO3-mvc] How to set default values for a new Model object?

[François Suter]

Hi all,

I'm wondering what is the proper way of setting default values when 
creating a new model object. In the controller, I have the newAction() 
method which is supposed to receive an empty model object (according to 
the comments generated by the Extbase kickstarter).

But it seems like I'm not receiving an object actually. When I tried to 
call a setter, I had an error about calling a method on a non-object.

Is the auto-generated comment wrong? Is there something to change 
somewhere (controller? repository?) so that there's really an instance 
of the model object being passed to the newAction() method? Or should 
default values really be set in a totally different way?

Thanks in advance for information
