question from mock exam

[Shashidhar Yarabati]

public class ReqD extends HttpServlet {
[B]protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException [/B]
{      
ServletContext sc = this.getServletContext();      
RequestDispatcher dis = sc.getRequestDispatcher("/menu.jsp");      
if (dis != null){          
dis.include(request, response);          
}      
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();      
out.print("Output after menu.jsp");    
}   
}

How come the above will compile and give output the contents of menu.jsp followed by "Output after menu.jsp"???

THE doGet(..) METHOD IS DECLARED AS protected...

because it is called by the service() which you get when you extend HttpServlet.
by the way doGet() doPost() are protected. check the API
