This part below is rather strange for me:

I would have written as it is done in HelloWeb:
public Person(Name name) {
    init(name);
}

then

public void init(Name name) {
    setName(name);
}

And incorporated here an overwritten version of the toString method
exactly as done in the original HelloWeb.

Here I would have used:
public Name(String firstName, String lastName) {
    setFirstName(firstName);
    setLastName(lastName);
}
to ensure that the accessors methods are always used.

Again an overwritten version of the toString method here.

No, Person relies on Name to construct itself, so here:
Person p1 = new Person(new Name("Chris", "Kellawan");

Below you may simplify, (well if you have taken the  time to write an
overriden version of the toString method), then you can get rid of the
table, and use a p tag just using the name attribute of person, no
need to getFirstName and getLastName. Unless you want to display a
collection of Persons separating the first name from the last name, in
which case you have also to write a Persons class, derived from the
Customers class in HelloWeb project, but that is not asked in the
homework.
