title: jsp:setProperty equivalent for servlet
body: <p>Is there an equivalent to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;jsp:setProperty name="beanName" property="*"/&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>for servlets?    </p>
  
  <p>Something that will auto-populate the bean from inside a servlet using the request parameters? I'm refactoring a JSP-only application and would like to move some of the code to servlets. For a bunch of tragic reasons, we are not able (right now) to use any frameworks to make this easier. </p>
