Hi,
To the best of my knowledge if an object is already instantiated the container will use that one to service the request. If the servlet/jsp is flagged as being
thread safe, the container creates a new object if there already is an object of that type servicing another request.
The container manages synchronisation once the jsp/servlet are flagged as thread safe.
I think that's how it works anyway, maybe someone else can put more light on this.
