Sure, and I was aware of that : by "forbid return statements", I was
meaning an XSP writing guideline (coding standard) saying not to use a
return statement to break the normal control flow, and not a rule
enforced by the engine : this would be difficult to implement, since it
would require a Java parser. The return statement at the end of a method
doesn't break the flow and is thus perfectly legal.
