Sounds to me that you have to get what you want to set from the request and
use introspection to find the corresponding set methods of the bean
properties you want to set. time to look up reflection APIs...
With those two lines mybean will already have the values from the request if
there's corresponding public accessor methods for them.

> <jsp:useBean id="mybean" class="mypackage.myclass"/>
> <jsp:setProperty name="mybean" property="*"/>
>
> But instead I would like to create a custom tag library like:
>
> <tag:mytag class="mypackage.myclass"/>
