Hi,
Consider that 2 clients have sent a request to a server...while responding back, how does the server uniquely identify each client?
Which value(s) in HttpServletRequest exactly help the server to uniquely identify a client so that it can send back the response to the corresponding client?

Thanks in advance...

Most of the network connection stuff is behind the scenes at a lower level than the interfaces that the container exposes to servlets.

Note that each request is running in it's own Thread and has the request and response objects which are tied (thru stuff you don't have to worry about) to the actual socket connection.

Therefore, the Thread does not have any confusion with other requests.

This is the container job to identify the client for request and response for the resources.

we donot need to worry for that.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
