I have modified the EventBuilder taskdef  class to generate my event classes
correctly.
A line in my events.xml file looks now like this:
 <event name="LocalRequestEvent" extension=".myext">
(this is required only at one event in the event tree since the rest of the
events
extend parent event)

I have added in the EventBuilder.template a new variable
@event.setextension@ in each constructor after super() and
this will be replaced with setEventExtension(".myext"); or with an empty
String.

I don't know if is the best solution but if you think that it could be
usefull i can
send the patched files.
This also means that the DTD should be changed to allow the extension
attribute.
Let me know if you have some modifications in mind regarding this, i will
add it
to the patch and test it out.

The problem is the same as discussed some time ago.
I want to separate the admin part from the public part.
So one application gateway for admin with one extension and one
for public part with different extension.

A question for Jake:

Why this is not possible in the 2.3 servlet spec:

 <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>ApplicationGateway</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/admin/*.event</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
