about isThreadSafe attribute of page directive ...

[Vassili Vladimir]

Hi,

When i say :

    
<%@ page isThreadSafe="false" %>

This means that the generated Servlet of this JSP implements SingleThreadModel right ?

Thanks in advance ...

It does mean that your JSP is implementing the SingleThreadModel.

But don't consider using it. The isThreadSafe is a deprecated attribute and should not be used.

Don't worry about it being on the exam, it's not going to be.

Does the spec says this? To the best of my knowledge setting isThreadSafe to false will generate code which is deprecated, so its use is discouraged.

JSP Specification :
Note: The Servlet 2.4 specification deprecates SingleThreadModel, which is the most common mechanism for JSP containers to implement isThreadSafe. Page authors are advised against using isThreadSafe, as the generated Servlet may contain deprecated code.

So the vendors are free to implement using SingleThreadModel or any other vendor specific way. So it contain deprecated code only if the vendor chooses to implement using SingleThreadModel.
So though class SingleThreadModel is deprecated the attribute isThreadSafe is not deprecated.
