Foil 6 The Servlet Life Cycle

From Overview of JDBC: Java Database Connectivity Java Servlets -- Spring Semester 1999. by Nancy McCracken
On the web server host machine, servlets run under the same process as the web server.
The web server is responsible for creating an instance of the servlet and invoking standard methods from the interface (in a similar way to a browser invoking methods of an applet). There are three main methods:
  • init ( )
  • service ( )
  • destroy ( )
and two helper methods:
  • getServletConfig ( )
  • getServletInfo ( )
