Hi guys,

my question is as follows.
If I assume the desployment descriptor below (shortened):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
     PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
    <display-name> XYZ </display-name>
    <description> XZY </description>

       <servlet>
        <servlet-name> servlet </servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
          soap.SoapServlet
        </servlet-class>
    </servlet>

       <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/servlet_1/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/servlet_2/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/servlet_3/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Now my question: Is the same servlet instance accessed by three
different URLs or is there for each URL an own servlet instance running
(are there three instances of the servlet running)?

Regards,
Nazario.
