if we declare static/instance variables in servlet as private then will it lead to thread safety of this variables?

well, no. because there's only one instance of a servlet. meaning for every request made there's only one instance but it will have a thread of execution per request.

so if you have a servlet class that has private static/instance variables it will be used for every request. if request1 did a change on an class or instance variable then request2 will see that change.

so basically the answer is no.
