RE: Model doesn't get initialized?

Yep, that's exactly right.  The JavaBeans spec says that for a property
"nameOfBeer", the setter is:

public void setNameOfBeer(String value)

and the getter is:

public String getNameOfBeer()

The case matters.  However, some templating languages (like Velocity)
will compensate for you (JSTL doesn't).

It gets a little weirder.  If you have a boolean value, say "lightBeer",
there are two possible getters:

public boolean getLightBeer()
public boolean isLightBeer()

Since it's possible to have both of those methods on a class, one of
them takes precedence over the other (I don't remember which offhand).
