Mock Exam Question on Session

[Joe San]

This is from the Javaranch Mock exam!

Servlets that implement the SingleThreadModel cannot share a single HttpSession Object accross multiple servlets. True or False?

I answered True. Am I right?

[Christophe Verré]

Why ? The session is the same, whether SingleThreadModel is used or not. (note that SingleThreadModel is deprecated, and may not be at the exam)

[Joe San]

Then why is that question on the Javaranch Mock exam?

[Sagar kanchi]

If there is single Http Session object then nothing will stop it being shared by multiple servlets. So, I think the answer is False.

Just to remind, Single Thread Model guarantees only single thread of execution at any given time and NOTHING ELSE.

[Remko Strating]

I agree the answer should be false

[Christophe Verré]

Then why is that question on the Javaranch Mock exam?

As written in the Links, this mock is for SCWCD 1.3.

[Atul Sawant]

hmmm...i think it is false too.

Initially, i thought it was true however i realized once a session is created by any servlet it does not belong to that servlet and can be accessed by other serlvets unless we have a block which has been schronized with session object.
