public abstract interface SingleThreadModel
Defines a "single" thread model for servlet execution. This empty interface allows
servlet implementers to specify how the system should handle concurrent calls to the
same servlet.
If the target servlet is flagged with this interface, the servlet programmer is
guaranteed that no two threads will execute concurrently the service method of that
servlet. This guarantee is ensured by maintaining a pool of servlet instances for each
such servlet, and dispatching each service call to a free servlet.
In essence, if the servlet implements this interface, the servlet will be thread safe.

Isn't the above backwards?
If your servlet does NOT implement SingleThreadModel then there is a ONE
instance of the servlet per server
If your servlet does implement SingleThreadModel there will be multiple (number
is implementation dependent) instances of the servlet per server.
