You are absolutely right. I made it sound simple with certain presumptions.
Session tracking should be there to keep track of the user. Otherwise every
time the user revisits the servlet, it increments the count. Also the field
holding the count should be made persistent to ensure that the info (no of
visitors ) is not lost when the servlet is destroyed.

sorry, but i think you'll encounter problems with that.. everytime
the
doGet()/doPost() method was invoked, it will increment. but what if
that
servlet is often called due to same functionality.. or the user keep
on
going to the same page.. i mean the user goes back to main page..
therefore
with the same user, you could get numerous visits.. i think it would
be
ideal to use session.. once the user visited to the site or page,
you should
increment the no. of visitors saved from a file or database.. then
whenever
the user logged out, remove the session... if the user visited
again, it
will be counted again.. if the site doesnt support logging out, the
session
is active as long as the browser is running.. if you think ites not
pratical, i would suggest you use what Mr Ramarao had said.. but u
dont
actually get the no. of users who really visited the site, but the
no of
times the servlet was called.
