How can I invoke servlet pooling with SingleThreadedModel?
The SingleThreadedModel servlet specification does not require the creation of a pool of servlets. A single threaded model implementation may also synchronize access to a single servlet instance to achieve the same outcome, so that only one request is processed at a time. Apache Tomcat uses the synchronized approach, other servlet containers may use the pooled approach. If you are concerned about the performance impact of synchronized access to the servlet instance, it would be preferable to re-design your servlet so that it does not depend on this mechanism at all. For example, you might create a synchronized block around the statements that are vulnerable to threading issues. By doing away with the single threaded model, you will minimise the performance impact of thread control. Actions: Follow-up, clarify or correct this answer. Submit a new question.
