what I am saying is that if you make multiple requests to a simple servlet
(i.e one which doesn't take any controlling parameters) the servlet
container will generally (depends on the container) create a pool of threads
in which will run the service method of each request. Hence, if you're
making multiple requests of the one servlet, you will generate a new session
per request..
