[Seaside] Let me see if I understand correctly...(more DB pool, application/session stuff).

You can do this from the config UI too - note that there's a select  
box when you create a new entry point that's almost always left at  
"Seaside Application", but other options are possible too.  If you  
override #description on the class side of your application subclass,  
you'll be able to choose it from that list.

I use this for WAEntryPoint subclasses that aren't applications at  
all (and don't create sessions, but act more like straight servlets),  
on the rare occasions I need that (example: a REST API).
