RequestHandler shared resources

[Grant Ingersoll]

I have an object that I would like to share between two or more  
RequestHandlers.  One request handler will be responsible for the  
object and the other I would like to handle information requests about  
what the object is doing.  Thus, I need to share the object between  
the handlers.  Short of using a static, does anyone have any  
recommended way of doing this?  In a pure servlet, I could use the  
ServletContext.  Or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Grant
