Hi,
i am not sure whether i understood your message right.
It contains so many strange '<p> , <br>' elements :-)
The server creates only ONE instance per servlet class
(unless Your servlet does not implement the 'SingleThreadModel'
flag interface).
A new thread is created for each client request.
Is is server specific how long the instance will be kept alive.
Consequently between the n-th and n+1-th request the instance
may have shut. In this case the n+1-th request will
create a new instance.
For details see: Jason Hunter, Java Servlet Programming.
Hope that helps
Wolfgang Stein
