This will work. But there is a limitation with it from an OO perspective.
I guess it depends how you do it, but if you're passing the bean objects
from the servlet container, and then using servlet API method calls on those
objects in the bean, you've made your bean useless outside of a servlet
container context, i.e., non-reusable.
Does it really matter if it gets the job done and you're never going to use
the bean for anything else? No. But you could just as easily do what I
suggested in an earlier email, which is get the ServletConfig object in a
JSP or servlet, call its methods to retrieve parameters, and then use the
returned strings to set the bean's properties. That way the bean is at
least _potentially_ reusable in a servlet application context, or otherwise
(EJB, applet, etc.).
