Description

SingleThreadModel is a tag interface with no methods. If a servlet implements this interface, the server ensures that each instance of the servlet handles only one service request at a time. Servers implement this functionality by maintaining a pool of servlet instances and dispatching incoming requests to free servlets within the pool. SingleThreadModel provides easy thread safety, but at the cost of increased resource requirements as more servlet instances are loaded at any given time.
