You forgot: never use servlet instance variables.
This alone is the most common servlet programming bug I've
ever seen, and I see it again and again and again.
I think the containers should use reflection to sniff
a servlet class and if there is a servlet instance variable,
refuse to load the class.
But that's just me.

Subject: New resource: Bugs every servlet programmer should know about
I just posted on Servlets.com a new resource listing the top bugs a
servlet/JSP programmer should know about. They're culled from my email
inbox, based on the most
frequently reported problems sent to me by users. Several directly
involve Apache/Tomcat, so I thought this would be a good forum in which
to post a mention.

If you know of other similarly "high profile bugs", please let me know.
