Hi! I think that the container can destroy the servlet when goes down, of course, and when a specific time has come up (a kind of garbage collector) . This is usefull when you wanna optimize memory resources. There are several application servers which may implement that in several ways.
You can read about that in a good J2EE book. Hope it�ll help you!

More specifically, are the servlet objects destroyed whenever the container goes down? Or, is it that the container can destroy the object and recreate it periodically. According to the specification, there must be one and only one instance of a servlet. Thanks. Pradeep DISCLAIMER: This message (including attachment if any) is confidential and may be privileged.
