One thing i forgot in my previous reply:

To implement singletons under tomcat requires more
knowhow as a typical stand alone applications.
Tomcat has several classloaders and there can a copy
of the same class in different classloaders. This way
the simple approach of using static class vars to store
singletons can fail.
