Nic, as I said before, you've only addressed one of the points I raised in
my original message. Here they are again, perhaps you'd like to comment on
the other two?
1) it doesn't allow you to easily share state with doGet(), which you almost
always want to do
2) there's no easy way co-ordinate error handling between getLM() and
doGet() (you can't even throw a ServletException from getLM()).
3) getLM() will set LastModified even if doGet() fails and throws an
exception. This means that the client will try and cache your "error" page
(unless you do a sendError() or somesuch).
