Hello!

 I have designed a website with a servlet that holds on to a database
connection statically so as not to have to re-establish the data connection
with every single page request. (and it detects if the link went down, of
course).  This connection has a bunch of prepared statements on it to make
things easier.

 Now, the question is:  Am I begging for trouble by doing this?  What
happens if two page requests come in extremely close together?  Is there a
guarantee that the servlet will only process one page at a time?  Could it
be that two page requests will come in and cause the database connections
to step on each other?

 Thanks!
