Jon,
subclassing and extending functionality (thereby specializing the behaviour)
is standard practice in OO development. I would think you know that. If you
believe that the Turbine framework does not require the Turbine servlet to
be subclassed then make it a final class.
I have personally verified that super.init () is being called, so that's not
a problem. To me all the things that Raphael put into the JetspeedServlet
make perfectly sense.
Cheers,
Thomas
