Question

In our application we want to achieve higher throughput so I just want to know how threading works in Spring MVC controllers.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Basically this has nothing to do with Spring. Usually each request is forked into a separate thread. So the usual thing to do here is finding the bottleneck. However there is a possibility that badly written beans that share state over thread boundaries and therefore need to be synchronized might have a very bad effect.
