How to "kill" a servlet?

[thelordoftherings]

Hello,

I am calling a certain Servlet from a JSP page when the page is submitted.
My questio is how can I verify that the Servlet's instance has been "killed" and no longer live so at the next submit I can be sure that a new instance is created and also be sure that this newly created instance is the ONLY ONE at the container?

Servlets are only ever created once inside a container - that is to say, there is only ever one instance per JVM.

As far as I know that ias not true.
The container manages a pool of Servlets so there can be more than one... Am I right?

I believe you are incorrect.
