hi again,

ok i looked into the sources of jasper and obviously it isnt possible what
i'm trying to do.

[snip]
    out.printin("public void ");
    out.print  (serviceMethodName);
    out.println("(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)");
    out.println("        throws java.io.IOException, ServletException {");
[snip]

doesnt look very customizable. Anyway .. all i need to change is on line of
code, any jasper dev here that will hate me for doing it? :p

I know i might be destroying my option to move to another servlet container
but i why should the JspPage interface allow me to do that but the container
not?! Plz tell me if i'm violating the spec ... right now i feel its a good
idea what im going to do .. but however .. i'm maybe completly wrong.

bye,
thomas
