You have to add a little JavaScript to your page, search for FocusOnLoadBehavior:

Answer 2

IMO I could choose HTML5 for this . In HTML there's an autofocus attribute to all form fields.

You can decide while page loading which component to be focus.In your case it is the default constructor . Have some criteria and focus on particular component if you are focus the component dynamically otherwise do like below . No Need of Javascript.

TextField textField = new TextField("name");
textField.add(new AttributeModifier("autofocus",""));
