Re: Servlet Init method

In my opinion, it's because that developer can only write one public =
void init() method but several public constructors of a servlet. There =
will be no guarrantee that which constructor will be used by the =
container, hence the J2EE STANDARD to use init method to initialise the =
servlets.

Subject: Servlet Init method



Hi,

                I am a beginner in servlet programming. . I have a =
question in that. Can anybody clear it for me? =20

=20

                Why do we have init() method instead of constructor. =
Bcaz servlet is also a java class file, so why don't we use constructor =
instead of init().=20
