BeanUtils populate

Question

Hi,
I am populating a bean in a servlet from request parameters using the BeanUtils.populate method.
This works fine mostly. The problem i am having is getting it to populate nested beans?
Example.
public User setUser(User u){
user = u;
the way i am populating is like this
HashMap map = new HashMap();
Enumeration names = request.getParameterNames();
while (names.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String) names.nextElement();
map.put(name, request.getParameterValues(name));
BeanUtils.populate(bean, map);
Thanks for anyones help.
