Servlet Instances

[db2sachin]

Could anyone tell me how many instances of the same servlet will be formed if I use the same Servlet from different clients/ or same client?

Normally, only a single one.
If you use loadballancing across servers, a single instance will be created in each server that gets to execute the servlet.

A servlet instance would create a process at the server at which it runs which has multiple threads. Multiple calls to the same servlet by any client would create multiple threads.
