20 * Ensures that servlets handle
21 * only one request at a time. This interface has no methods.
22 *
23 * <p>If a servlet implements this interface, you are <i>guaranteed</i>
24 * that no two threads will execute concurrently in the
25 * servlet's <code>service</code> method. The servlet container
26 * can make this guarantee by synchronizing access to a single
27 * instance of the servlet, or by maintaining a pool of servlet
28 * instances and dispatching each new request to a free servlet.
29 *
30 * <p>Note that SingleThreadModel does not solve all thread safety
31 * issues. For example, session attributes and static variables can
32 * still be accessed by multiple requests on multiple threads
33 * at the same time, even when SingleThreadModel servlets are used.
34 * It is recommended that a developer take other means to resolve
35 * those issues instead of implementing this interface, such as
36 * avoiding the usage of an instance variable or synchronizing
37 * the block of the code accessing those resources.
38 * This interface is deprecated in Servlet API version 2.4.

44 * @deprecated As of Java Servlet API 2.4, with no direct
45 * replacement.
