Hi Peter,
You might want to think about registering
a single servlet instance
http://mywebserver/servlet/MyServlet
Then, have your user connect as:
http://mywebserver/servlet/MyServlet/Channel1
http://mywebserver/servlet/MyServlet/Channel2
http://mywebserver/servlet/MyServlet/Channel3
http://mywebserver/servlet/MyServlet/Channel4
In your servlet, you can then use request.getPathInfo ()
to get the channel name and check security based on that.

>MyServletChannel3 com.csfb.gfx.servlets.ChannelServlet
