I wouldn't suggest using <jsp:useBean> at all in this scenario. Put
the getList() method on your backing bean that contains the event
handlers for that page, which would be registered as a managed bean
(in request scope). Then, you can use value binding expressions to
connect your components to the list values.
The only thing I would do differently from David's example is put the
populateList() call in prerender(), instead of in the getter method.
