BUG?! hyperlink can't be changed by coding

Question

hiho,
i like to change the text- and the link-value of a hyperlink in my code. for this i've putted a hyperlink-control on a page and 've included the following code in the page-constructor:
    public Page1() {
        // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Creator-managed Component Initialization">
        try {
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log("Page1 Initialization Failure", e);
            throw e instanceof FacesException ? (FacesException) e : new FacesException(e);
        // </editor-fold>
        // Additional user provided initialization code
        this.hyperlink1.setValue("http://www.aaa.com");
        this.hyperlink1Text.setValue("aaa");
    }the properties of the html-control will not be changed in the page-view. the text stay on "Hyperlink" and the target-link stay on "http://www.sun.com/jscreator".
if i debug then i'll see that this code-fragment will be executed and the values will be changed correctly in the "this"-object but not shown.

Using properties is another option.
Takes more steps but if you learn how
properties work they can be powerful.
Steps I used:
1. Add two new properties homeLinkText and homeLinkUrl. (do this by button 2 context menu on <Page1.java> Add->Property.)
2. In the application outline select the hyperlink.
In the property window, click on the "..." button for the value property and then bind it to the object "homeLinkUrl".
3. In the app outline select the hyperlink text and in the property window bind the value to the object "homeLinkText".
4. Open up the java class file. You may add code to the constructor to set the properties. If you included setters you would add code like:
setHomeLinkUrl("http://www.sun.com");
setHomeLinkText("Home");
Or optionally you could add code directly in the
getHomeLinkUrl and getHomeLinkText methods.
This assumes that you have defined your property to be in page scope. To create properties in other scopes you would use a context menu on ApplicationBean1.java or SessionBean1.java
instead of Page1.java to create the property.
