You can make no assumptions about when the container might destroy/re-create servlets, because it can do it anytime it wants. As to whether servlets are destroyed when the container goes down, that probably depends on how it goes down -- if it's a clean shutdown, most likely all servlets will be destroyed, if it's a crash, probably not. > According to the specification, there must be one and only one > instance of a servlet. Unless you're using SingleThreadModel -- which you should be anyway.
