Does tomcat create a thread per user?

Viewed 9274

I am fairly new to web development. So I apologize if this is a very basic question. For example, I create a web application and deploy it to tomcat. Now when multiple users hit the web application, does tomcat create a new thread per user? If that's the case then can I still create threads in my application itself and expect it to stay local to each user thread created by tomcat? Does session level data stay synchronized across threads?

I hope my question makes sense.
