The spec also specifically says that SingleThreadModel Servlets may be instantiated multple times per container.

Subject: 2.2 Spec and number of Instances
Section 3.2 of the August Servlet 2.2 spec (PR1) says that 'By default,
there must be only one instance of a servlet class per servlet definition in
a container' - in the past there's been discussion on this list (and the JSP
list) about threading. Now, modulo SingleThreadModel (which the spec talks
about in the next paragraph) my understanding was that a servlet engine
could (and often/always did) instantiate a pool of servlets (within the same
container) to provide a degree of load balancing - this statement seems to
stop that. Am I reading this correctly or am I missing something?
