Dear Pavels,
If you don't force to use JSTL , you can set the bean properties by JSF easy.
Look:
UserBean bean = new UserBean(); // your bean class
ExternalContext context =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
HttpServletRequest request =
(HttpServletRequest)context.getRequest();
String fullName = request.getParameter("form1:fullName");
bean.setFullName(fullName);
you can do this in utility class.
I hope it can help you.
