Jason, I should have been a little more precise. In fact, if you alias the
same servlet class name to two different aliases in Apache JServ, you do get
two instances -- one per alias. This is needed, because the lifecycles of
each instance are managed individually Your "counter in an instance variable"
then works the way you want, if the servlet engine does not distribute the
same alias across multiple servers, or create multiple instances for some
other reason.
