Okay -- I guess my question is devolving down to
whether the servlet engine is using multiple
JVM's.  I'm not using Enhydra -- I'm writing
servlets to run at an ISP (mycgiserver.com) which
is running jserv under apache.  But I believe
there is only one JVM.   I can check on that.

Thanks for the help.

Steve

| The only time you'd want to use the RmiJdbc
driver is when accessing the
| same InstantDB database using two or more Java
Virtual Machine
| processes.  You should have no problem accessing
the same database from
| within the same JVM.  If you're running two
servlets in one instance of
| Enhydra, for example, you won't run into any
issues using the same
| InstantDB database.
