Hi, Servlets are stateless and they must extend javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet, therefore I'm afraid the idea of manager class is probably unrealistic.
The stuff you want to achieve normally works by either placing objects into the HTTP session (user-bound) or attaching them to your application context (application-bound).
