You can define a default action for the template, which would by invoked
only "if" no parameters are supplied, for example:

<template name=3D"results.vm">
   <invoke component=3D"Searcher" 
           method=3D"findBooks(String author, String title)"
           if=3D"!$title">
      <input-variable name=3D"author" value=3D"someDefaultValue"/>
      <input-variable name=3D"title" value=3D"someDefaultValue"/>
   </invoke>
</template>

The search form submit would be handled by the <action>, as usually.
