The term for "multi threading" is "multi threading" :-) But seriously, I'm not sure what you're asking - what kind of other term are you looking for? What would it describe that "multi threading" doesn't?
Are you talking about the way the servlet container manages multiple requests with multiple threads in a Thread pool - NOT under the programmer's control.
-OR-
Servlet programmers starting Threads for some application purpose.
Hi Bill,
I was referring to the first situation i.e. thread pooling managed by servlet container.I was wondering whether there is any specific term for the same?
as already mentioned, Interview question is bit strange.
I guess , interviewer did not framed question correctly - he was trying to ask you about STM or STS.
STM = Single Thread model for Servlet
STS = Single Threaded Servlets
As you may be aware that Servlets can be made single threaded.
So, I guess , interviewer wanted to listen the term "Single Thread Servlets".

That's what I suspected. We've seen lots of examples of interviewers who understand neither the question nor the answer, they just like to sound smart.
