How do Application Servers support multi-threading?

Question

I am looking for information regarding how application servers like Tomcat, Websphere, IIS etc support multi-threading to handle client requests. Is there a comparative analysis on how each of them support/handle concurrent requests?

Thank you

You can always look at the source for information about Tomcat. As most multi-threaded applications in Java it's built around a threadpool with Workers. Not sure about Websphere but I think it's simular to Tomcats. Can't answer for IIS...
