Nope: all requests will be handled in parallel unless other factors
exist (such as more requests than your server is configured to accept
simultaneously).
There used to be a SingleThreadModel interface you could implement that
would force the behavior you describe but it has been deprecated.

Tomcat does not take any special action when multiple requests come in
for a particular servlet.

Tomcat will never handle monitors for your synchronized objects: the JVM
will do it. If you need serialized access to an object, then you need to
synchronize it yourself. Better yet, make multiple copies of it so you
don't have to serialize access to it (them). Even better, fix your
design so that it's thread safe and you don't need any synchronization
at all.

SingleThreadModel has been deprecated as of Servlet API v2.4. Don't use it.

You can alway do this:
private Whatever _myProtectedResource;
public void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse rsp)
{
...
synchronized (_myProtectedResource) {
// do whatever you need to do in here that requires exclusive
// access to _myProtectedResource
}
...
}
Hope that helps,
