LongPollingServlet can only connect one at a time

Hi,

I am using Glassfish v2 U1 with cometSupport = true in my domain.xml file.

I have changed the LongPollingServlet a bit to experiment:

When http://localhost:8080/chat/long_polling is called, the servlet notifies
all the attached ContextHandlers by outputting text saying "success".

However if I open multiple browser windows, I can only seem to attach one
ContextHandler at a time. When the connection of the first handler expires,
only then will the second connect.
http://localhost:8080/chat/long_polling?attach=true attaches a
ContextHandler

Why is that? I am sure this is a school boy error...

Thanks,
Dan
