Normally, the first available thread from the pool is used for each request. However, if you are using the BIO <Connector> with keep-alives enable *and* the browser is using keep-alives, the same thread as long as the HTTP connection is active. See the HTTP <Connector> doc, especially the Connector Comparison at the end. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
