why HttpServlet do not implemnet any super interface

[Rauhl Roy]

Hi,

van you tell me why does HttpServlet do not implemnet neighter super Interface nor Super Class'(Abastarct) methods.

doubts

1/ does container do the work which we are supposed to do?

2/ does it mean this rule is applicable to all of Java Programming?

Plese give me any other information if you have with you in this regard.

It is up to the container creators to implement those methods.
If you are curious, the source code to Apache Tomcat can be download for inspection.

We (application developers) only need to implement the methods that we wish to override.
Typically, these are:
init, doPost, and doGet.
