<
jsp:useBean id = "person" type = "foo.Employee">
<jsp:setProperty name="person" property="name" value ="fred"
</jsp:useBean>
servlet code (pg 256)
foo.Employee p = new foo.Employee();
p.setName("Evan");
request.setAttribute("person",p);
IN HFS it is given above code will run successfully
person attribute is at request scope.
so above code should not work
