Yes... but *most* servlet containers also implement keep-alive.

So the servlet container can receive several requests from the
browser over the same connection.

If your server doesn't implement keep-alive you can do it quite
easily within a servlet yourself. Though I personally would recommend
using a servlet container that supports it.

Keep-alive is not the best way to do it though, use HTTP/1.1
persistent connections if possible. These are a bit more complicated
(because of the need to use chunked encoding for non-content length
set responses) but much better.
