Antony,
it might be the case that he didn't have time to answer, you know. 
Nobody on this list is obliged to answer any questions. Attempting to 
'name and shame' someone into answering your questions is not going to 
make you popular and might backfire on you.

In answer to your question, the best approach would be check first that 
you are not abusing any singletons, static methods or member variables 
in your servlets.

Then you should set up tests using one of the testing frameworks 
available that allows you to submit real data and check the results.

HTH
Adam
