How many instances of a Servlet filter will there be within the container

Supposed I have a LoginFilter, defined the usual way:

public class LoginFilter implements Filter, Servlet {


Its executed for every URL that goes through the container (tomcat, glassfish, etc.)

How many "LoginFilter" objects are in the VM? Just one? one per thread? perhaps a pool is kept by the container and managed by it?

Related: does the LoginFilter have to be thread safe?
