Some web servers have a "single thread model" option. That may be where you heard the term. I think it means one thread handles all incoming requests. If request 2 comes in while request 1 is working it waits until request 1 is done. If you have thousands of users they can back up and wait a very long time for responses. Other options are to start a new thread for every request or serve requests with a pool of threads.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

"single thread modeling" gets 1 hit in google, not a good score. SingleThreadModel is a servlet interface that does what is described in the quoted reply. Its intent is to remove race conditions caused by multithreading. It doesn't work and is deprecated in Servlet 2.4
