You are mixing to different things.

<jsp:setProperty/> works on beans.
In JSP beans have to be declared and created
with the <jsp:useBean/> tag.

So your p is not a bean to JSP. To change
this you have to use the <jsp:useBean/> tag.
Otherwise the only way to access it, is to 
use it in expressions <%= p.someMethod() %> or 
scriptlets <% p.anotherMethod(); %>

Hi,

thank you for that explanation,  i'm beginning to see the light...also
because william brogden replied to my orginal mail. ^_^

Although i still think it's strange that i have to use the useBean tag.

for example can i call different constructors of  the same bean with the
useBean tag?
