/**
* The JspPage interface describes the generic interaction that a JSP Page
* Implementation class must satisfy; pages that use the HTTP protocol
* are described by the HttpJspPage interface.
*
* Two plus One Methods
*
* The interface defines a protocol with 3 methods; only two of
* them: jspInit() and jspDestroy() are part of this interface as
* the signature of the third method: _jspService() depends on
* the specific protocol used and cannot be expressed in a generic
* way in Java.
*
* A class implementing this interface is responsible for invoking
* the above methods at the appropriate time based on the
* corresponding Servlet-based method invocations.
*
* The jspInit() and jspDestroy() methods can be defined by a JSP
* author, but the _jspService() method is defined automatically
* by the JSP processor based on the contents of the JSP page.
*
*
_jspService()
*
* The _jspService()method corresponds to the body of the JSP page. This
* method is defined automatically by the JSP container and should never
* be defined by the JSP page author.
*
* If a superclass is specified using the extends attribute, that
* superclass may choose to perform some actions in its service() method
* before or after calling the _jspService() method. See using the extends
* attribute in the JSP_Engine chapter of the JSP specification.
*
* The specific signature depends on the protocol supported by the JSP page.
*
*
* public void _jspService(ServletRequestSubtype request,
* ServletResponseSubtype response)
* throws ServletException, IOException;
