I'm just a beginner here, but I think one obvious
benefit of having one servlet assigned multiple
tasks with some sort of 'command' parameter is that
you don't end up with a proliferation of classes, and
.java source files, which can be a big hassle if you're
only working off a telnet shell. That's the way I'm
doing it right now.
