Nico,
I would still share the connections using a pooling mechanism of some kind. If every visitor is going to require 3 connections to the database, you can never scale past a certain point anyway.
Most of the time the connection is only required for a short period of time. ie request comes in, get the connection, get the result set, read the result set into beans, or objects, return connection and then display.
This can be done with each frame/servlet

I forgot to mention one thing: I have no control over the server it's
running on. I only have permission for my account. It is imperative that I
can have 4 open connections with my database, since my servlet generates a
framesetpage where each frame of the three frames is that same servlet with
other parameters to connect to the same database. Most of the time it's not
a problem, but when I get 3 or more visitors at the same time, my
connections start to make trouble. Here is my website:

Nico,
this is somewhat problematic, the only way to do this is to use the unix
tool ps to determine the number of processes.
A much better way to do this is to use a robust connection pool like dbcp
from apache, which will manage your connections for you.

I would like to know how many connections are open at a certain time from
a servlet, so I can anticipate connection errors. How do I do that?
