you define only class name for listeners in dtd file, servlet container take care of finding the listeners and send appropriate events.

Will the container use the same instance or it will instantiate a new object for each type of listener?

The container creates only one instance for each of the listener classes registered using the <listener> element. If such a class implements multiple listener interfaces, the container uses the same instance for notifying the events corresponding to all the interfaces that the class implements.

If you actually want to have separate instances, then you'll probably need to use the "empty subclass" technique:

So that the Servlet Container treats them as separate classes.

Hello all,
I am not clear abt this empty sub-class technique. Why do we use it and what does it actually achieve? Though i agree with hanumant that only instance is create per listener tag in web.xml. If it implements multiple interfaces then it is automatically handled by the container.
