Hi Larry, I'm +1 on implementing your changes - setting options for jsp is very important ( I use jikes most of the time ). Setting jasper options in web.xml has many problems, and I don't think we should do it. I agree adding a ContextManager/Context property is the best solution for 3.2 - minimal changes, no "danger". For 3.3 we can do the same thing, but it might be better to set the properties on JspInterceptor - it's more direct and proably easier. Whatever you choose is fine ( and we can fix it later ) - it's important to get the functionality we need and see how it works, and then we can do some refactoring if needed. Costin
