It is true that the servlets are running in the same JVM, but it is not
necessarily true that Singleton objects are shared. The reason for this is
that many servlet engines implement customized class loaders so that they can
dynamically reload servlets that have changed, without restarting the servlet
engine. Classes that are loaded by different custom class loaders are not
shared.
The way to ensure that this approach will work for you is to ensure that your
Singleton classes are loaded from the system CLASSPATH for your servlet engine.
