Dear All

I am using iPlanet to serve several servlets (all in the same anonymous
context and the same named Java package). I had thought that these servlets
would all run in the same JVM and therefore share static members of classes
between them. However, it appears that each servlet has its own copy of the
static members of each class.

Am I right or am I missing something?

I find that these undefined or ill-defined aspects of the servlets
specification cause me real problems. I have found it very difficult to
write non-trivial servlets that work across different servers because they
all implement unspecified aspects of the servlet standard in different ways.
In my development environment I use the JDeveloper servlet runner, Apache
JServ on my local machine and iPlanet on our test machine. I have found that
some API calls are unimplemented (e.g. get major/minor version of the
servlet engine on Apache/JServ). Has everyone else had the same experience?

Thanks for your help!

Nick.
