You can, but there would be little point since it would not be called by the container when loading the Servlet, and in doing so you may prevent the no-arg constructor from being called and stop the Servlet from being initialised at all.
The short answer is: not in any meaningful sense, no.

recently this question was asked in two interviews. how can i convince them by saying no. [ February 19, 2006: Message edited by: rehans oberoi ]
Well you don't convince them, you provide reasoning. If you need more information, we have discussed constructors in servlets a few times, such as here.
