Howdy, >* How does scoping work in Tomcat?

What does a singleton have to do >with a web container? You would use a singleton in tomcat for the same reasons you would in other programs. One advantage a singleton has in a servlet container like tomcat is that all the webapps run in one JVM but their own classloaders, with one common parent classloader. If your singleton is in that classloader (the "shared" or "common" classloader in tomcat parlance) then all your webapps see the same instance of this singleton, thereby making it a suitable location to place objects that you want to share across webapps.
