I wish to pre-populate a jsf form based on the parameters in a query string. How do I go about this?

Use the f:viewParam utility. Having this url:
/myForm.xhtml?nameField=Anthony
You can set the view parameter before the form itself gets rendered. Using this code in your form view:
<f:metadata>
<f:viewParam name="nameField"
value="#{formBean.name}" />
</f:metadata>
<h:form>
<h:inputText value="#{formBean.name}" />
<h:commandButton value="Send name" action="#{formBean.sendName}" />
</h:form>
The value you have specified will be set as default for the input.

This is great thanks. However now I have a problem that the ajax for the update of these inputs is not triggered :(

I'll have a go at solving myself first

That's just the way to go. Good luck!

an update. I solved the problem mentioned in the above comment by calling the action on the page load with primefaces' remoteCommand autorun="true"

Depending on your case consider also using
f:viewAction if JSF 2.2 available.Write a bean function and call in ActionListener of that jsf page
Bean function code -
public void viewProperty(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();
DCDataControl dc = bindingContext.findDataControl("AppModuleDataControl"); // Name of application module in datacontrolBinding.cpx
AppModuleImpl appM = (AppModuleImpl)dc.getDataProvider();
ViewObject vo = appM.findViewObject("propertyInformationNew1"); //Name of ViewObject
String brokerUsername = MyADFUtil.getFromSessionScope("brokerUsername").toString();
vo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("pBrokerProp", brokerUsername); //first value is parameter name and second one is value of that parameter
vo.executeQuery();
}
