+/**
+ * Ensures that servlets handle only one request at a time. This interface has
+ * no methods.
+ * <p>
+ * If a servlet implements this interface, you are <i>guaranteed</i> that no two
+ * threads will execute concurrently in the servlet's <code>service</code>
+ * method. The servlet container can make this guarantee by synchronizing access
+ * to a single instance of the servlet, or by maintaining a pool of servlet
+ * instances and dispatching each new request to a free servlet.
+ * <p>
+ * Note that SingleThreadModel does not solve all thread safety issues. For
+ * example, session attributes and static variables can still be accessed by
+ * multiple requests on multiple threads at the same time, even when
+ * SingleThreadModel servlets are used. It is recommended that a developer take
+ * other means to resolve those issues instead of implementing this interface,
+ * such as avoiding the usage of an instance variable or synchronizing the block
+ * of the code accessing those resources. This interface is deprecated in
+ * Servlet API version 2.4.
+ *
+ * @deprecated As of Java Servlet API 2.4, with no direct replacement.
