If there are concurrent requests to the same servlet, the servlet container creates a new thread. It does'nt createÂ another instance.
It creates a new instance if any servlet alias is there or if instance pooling option is there.

Servlets are multi threaded by default. If there are concurrent requests to the same servlet the servlet container generates New Thread . So this the reason servelts are multi threaded by default.
