Q:17 JavaRanck mock exam

[Srini Admala]

Servlets that implement the SingleThreadedModel cannot share a single HttpSession Object accross multiple servlets.
Correct Answer : False.
I chose "True" as my answer because
multiple requests can belong to the same session
and there could be multiple instances of the servlets implementing SingleThreadedModel.

Can any explain this please ?

I think that's a trick question. It's suppose to be SingleThreadModel, not SingleThreadedModel.

[Madhav Lakkapragada]

There ain't no trick in that. Its an error, a simple plain typo error. See my post here.
Now turning to the real qstn..........

Servlets that implement the SingleThreadedModel cannot share a single HttpSession Object accross multiple servlets.
Even though Servlets implement SingleThreadModel, they can still share a "session" among them. SingleThreadModel only gaurentees that there is ONLY ONE thread executing THIS PARTICULAR servlet.
Thats the end of responsibility of SingleThreadModel, it doesn't have any responsibility regarding Shared resources.
regds.
