Not necessarily true; Tomcat or the JVM could queue connect requests internally, and might not maintain order.

Given that different packets between a pair of IP nodes may take wildly different routes over the network, there's no guarantee on the order of arrival of TCP connection requests from a client to a server. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
