You are mixing to different things.
<jsp:setProperty/> works on beans.
In JSP beans have to be declared and created
with the <jsp:useBean/> tag.
So your p is not a bean to JSP. To change
this you have to use the <jsp:useBean/> tag.
Otherwise the only way to access it, is to
use it in expressions <%= p.someMethod() %> or
scriptlets <% p.anotherMethod(); %>
