ServletConfig : is it created one for each servlet?

[Sekhar Kadiyala]

ServletConfig object is created one for each servlet or one for each instance. When i mean instance, i guess, we can create multiple instances for the same servlet.

Thanks in advance!

I think that the servlet container should create one servletConfig for each servlet instance. We can see the protype of function init:
public init(ServletConfig servletConfig);

When one servlet is created, the init(ServletConfig) will be called once.

IMHO ServletConfig object is created one for each servlet .
For instance when we create

class OurServlet extends HttpServlet {
    
.....
 
}

OurServlet inherits an implementation of ServletConfig form GenericServlet

The servlet container will only create one instance of each servlet; that is why writing thread-safe code is so important...

Therefore, by definition, there can only be one ServletConfig for each servlet.
