You almost never put anything in the servlet; the servlet is just a tiny
stub, a bridge between the servlet API and all things Tapestry.
Operations such as obtaining database connections are specific to your
application, but not specific to any particular user, which is to say the
operation is stateless. In the Tapestry world, the best place for such as
thing is in your engine.
public class MyEngine extends SimpleEngine
{
public Connection getDatabaseConnection() ...
}
public class MyPage extends BasePage
{
public void someMethod(...)
{
MyEngine engine = (MyEngine)getEngine();
Connection = engine.getDatabaseConnection();
...
}
