When you include a nested <set-property> element (as you did in your
example below), Struts expects your PlugIn implementation class to
have a corresponding public property setter method that can be used to
pass on that value.  Thus, if you have:

  <plug-in className="com.mycompany.MyPlugIn">
    <set-property name="foo" value="bar"/>
  </plug-in>

then your MyPlugIn class must have a setFoo() method to receive that value.
