Calling doGet() method from init() method

[Sreenivasa Rao Pitchuka]

Hi,
In my application, I need to start a Servlet at server startup.For that I'm using a load-on-startup param.From this (i.e from init())I need to execute another task through doGet() method. Is it possible.
Please inform ASAP.
Thanks and regards,
Sreenivas

You cannot call doGet from init because you do not have request and response object to pass one, unless you create an instance of those yourselves.
Why dont you call the task method directly.

The way you do this is to make the task separate from both the init() and doGet() methods, and you can then call it from either one.
