Servlets are great, because one instance services an innumerable amount of clients. However, I was wondering (and am too lazy to read the spec).
When a single Servlet class is parameterized in the web.xml file, to create say three different servlet definitions, at runtime, will one instance be created, but run with the appropriate parameterization to make it seem like there are three instances, or is there a definite one to one relationship between servlet definitions in the web.xml file, and instances running.
Remember, I'm talking about the same
Java class file, just parameterized differently three times in the deployment descriptor.
Just wondering.
Thanks,
