What is the servlet?

Servlets are modules that extend request/response-oriented servers, such as Java-enabled web servers. For example, a servlet may be responsible for taking data in an HTML order-entry form and applying the business logic used to update a company's order database.

servlet is used to handle request and response.Multiple concurrent request accessing the service method of the same servlet instance.that is Thread safe=true if it is false means it implements one interface called single thread model. Now a days we are using servlet we can't implement single thread model bcoz it is never more than one request accessing the service method of the single servlet instance,so it will create multiple instance for multiple clients.multiple clients access the single thread model is impossible.

. A servlet is a class that is used to extend the capabilities of servers that host applications access via a request-response programming model. Although servlets can respond to any type of request, they are commonly used to extend the applications hosted by web servers. For such applications, Java Servlet technology defines HTTP-specific servlet classes
