The <jsp:setProperty> element is only useful if the destination of your form submit
is another JSP page. Then, you would do something like this:
<jsp:useBean id="theUserInfoBean" scope="session" class="UserInfoBean">
<jsp:setProperty name="theUserInfoBean" property="userName"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="theUserInfoBean" property="userpassword"/>
</jsp:useBean>
If you are submitting to a servlet instead, you would not be doing this -- instead,
you'd be doing the servlet equivalent:
UserInfoBean uib = new UserInfoBean(...);
uib.setUserName(request.getParameter("userName");
uib.setUserpassword(request.getParameter("userpassword");
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
session.putValue("theUserInfoBean", uib);
