Hi
Single thread model is used to enforce one request accessing servlet at a time .
Servlet Api says, container may decide to have multiple instances of servlet if SingleThreadModel is implemented.
can we have more than one instance of a servlet in a container

A servlet can have more than one instances in the JVM. The number might be configured.
SingleThreadedModel indicats that at a time only one request will be allowed to access the one instance's service() method. Effectively it means that the service() method is synchronized.
Note : There might be more than one instances in SingleThreadedModel and more than one requests serviced. But only one request per instance.

Note that SingleThreadedModel is deprecated and should not be used. Just write your servlets to be thread-safe and get on with it.

To quote from the Servlet API 2.3 - section 2.2
"For a servlet not hosted in a distributed environment (the default) the servlet must use only one instance per servlet declaration."
It then goes on to discuss the exception of the SingleThreadModel.
You really should get a copy of the API to answer these questions - it is the final authority.
