The servlet class loader checks the system class path first, and then the zone
repository, so wherever it found your servlet class is where it loaded from. As
long as your servlet does not implement SingleThreadModel, getServlet() returns a
reference to the one and only instance of this servlet.
I ***strongly*** suggest, however, that you redesign your application not to rely
on getServlet(). In the version 2.1 API, the getServlet() method was deprecated
(for a bunch of very good reasons we don't need to go into here) so you won't be
able to use this approach once Apache JServ is upgraded to the new API (which
will happen in the near term through the Jakarta project ... see
http://jakarta.apache.org for more info).
