Ismael,
Beware of static variables in servlets.
Use application level variables...initialized from the init(). Put this in
any servlet, just as long as its used at least once.
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
Long counter = (Long)getServletContext().getAttribute("counter");
if (counter == null) {
counter = new Long(0);
getServletContext().setAttribute("counter",counter);
}
}
Then throughout your web application in jsp's or servlets you can increment
your counter.
static variables are only for one servlet class, so if you have more than
one servlet or jsp, it won't work.

Sorry, But I do not understand what you mean.
What I want is to have only a counter for all the requests.
