A Service is a group of one or more
Connectors that share a single Container
to process their incoming requests.  This arrangement allows, for example,
a non-SSL and SSL connector to share the same population of web apps.

A given JVM can contain any number of Service instances; however, they are
completely independent of each other and share only the basic JVM facilities
and classes on the system class path.
