I have two classes and two pages found below:

My question is how do I access the attributes of HelloModel from HelloView to have them displayed in helloName.jsp . The dot notation is not working out for me, and I am not sure if this would require a custom tag to perform this type of work. I had been doing a fair amount of icefaces lately and assumed it would be similar. It is not working out in the sense it cannot find the property hm.name

class HelloView  
{  
    private HelloModel hm;
    public String getAttribute()  
    {  
       return hm.getName();  
    }

    //getters / setters
}  


class HelloModel  
{  
   private String name;  
   //getters / setters
}    

hello.jsp  
<form action="helloName.jsp" method="post" name="form">
        Hello enter your name!

        <input type="text" name="name">
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" >  

helloName.jsp  
<body>

        <jsp:useBean id="hello" class="HelloView" scope="page">
         <jsp:setProperty property="hm.name" name="hello"/>
        </jsp:useBean>
        Thank you <%=hello.getHelloModel()%> 
</body>

    You need two <jsp:useBean>s.

    Based on the information and code given so far, that would look something like this:

    <jsp:useBean id="hm" class="HelloModel" scope="page">
    <jsp:setProperty name="hm" property="name" />
</jsp:useBean>
<jsp:useBean id="hello" class="HelloView" scope="page">
    <jsp:setProperty name="hello" property="hm" value="${hm}" />
</jsp:useBean>

    The first one creates HelloModel and sets the request parameter name as a property of it (it should have a public void setName(String name) method). The second one creates HelloView and sets the HelloModel as hm property of it (it should have a public void setHm(HelloModel hm) method).

    Unrelated to the concrete problem, <jsp:useBean> follows a different MVC approach than normal JSF and JSP/Servlets. It’s recommend to not use it. Also, classes should be inside a package or it will fail on most servers (packageless classes works only in certain Tomcat+JDK combinations).
