That would be great if you could... but in terms of getting a unique broker 
instance per Servlet + Properties combination, that's going to be a bit 
more tricky isn't it? You'll have to wrap the ServletContext + Properties 
in a new object to use as a key for findBroker, and implement hashcode and 
equals, right?
