What I actually meant was a clash between bean *property* names and request
parameter names (eg form fields).
If you use the following:
<jsp:setProperty name="mybean" property="*"/>
it automatically iterates through the parameters in the request and sets the
corresponding bean parameters (of the same name).
My point was that someone could inadvertently add a form field whose name
might match one of the bean's (possibly unrelated) properties and that
property would get set by the above tag without it necessarily being obvious
what has happened.
