creating object for ServletRequest Interface?

[naidu rasagna]

Hi,
As the HttpServletRequest is an interface and we are creating the object for that interface in the service method.
How is this possible???
Is that the declaration then where that is defined???
Thanks

Yes HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, HttpSession etc are interfaces. Their implementation is provided by the respective Servlet containers e.g. Tomcat, WebLogic etc.

Welcome to JavaRanch!

We're pleased to have you here with us in the Servlets forum, but there are a few rules that need to be followed, and one is that proper names are required. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

You can change it here

Thank you.
