Hi,

We know that by default servlet is multithreaded, for every client request a new thread will be created and assigned to that to perform the service. so if one thread initiates destroy() only itself will be terminated but  other threads not terminates.

Other wise, it is against to servlet spec. regarding multithreading concept. ex: suppose if u open 2 browser instances for a website, if u move from one site to another in one browser the other remains connect to same site not terminates.

This is not possible as the destroy() can only invoked by the container, Which always makes sure there is no client is being processed before executing destroy().

Calling destroy method by himself. Doesnt means destroying the servlet. Container will take care to destroy the servlet when application undeployed or system shut downs.

So, if 1 user calls destroy method within its service method. it will not destroy the servlet. other thread can still access the same servlet instance.
