/**
 * A tag which sets the bean properties on the given bean.
 * So if you used it as follows, for example using the &lt;j:new&gt; tag.
 * <pre>
 * &lt;j:new className="com.acme.Person" var="person"/&gt;
 * &lt;j:setProperties object="${person}" name="James" location="${loc}"/&gt;
 * </pre>
 * Then it would set the name and location properties on the bean denoted by
 * the expression ${person}.
 * <p>
 * This tag can also be nested inside a bean tag such as the &lt;useBean&gt; tag
 * or a JellySwing tag to set one or more properties, maybe inside some conditional
 * logic.
