/**
* Ensures that servlets handle only one request at a time. This interface has no methods.
*
* If a servlet implements this interface, you are guaranteed that no two threads will execute concurrently in
* the servlet's service 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.
*
* 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.
