Well then define a preProcess() method and have both doGet() and
doPost() call it first (I believe someone suggested this, or something
like this). There's still no reason to override service() and throw
away perfectly good functionality. In fact, it's *easier* to do this
than to override service() (e.g. you'd have to repest some code from
the default service() to call the proper doXXX() method). I think
it's cleaner as well, and it stays with the conventional way of using
the HttpServlet methods.
