Caveat on pooling database connections in servlets:
You need to make sure those database connections are thread safe. Since
there is only one instance of a servlet running, you don't want threads
stealing resources from each other.
IMHO though, servlets are very useful, and are my favorite way of doing
servers in java. Even if you don't plan to access them through a web
browser.
