try storing the object p in the page attributes under the name that the 
setProperty attribute is attempting to modify.  setProperty and 
getProperty cannot function without the objects existing in one of the 
attributes set.  (incidentally the jsp:useBean automatically exports the 
object to the page attributes, which is why it works seamlessly).
