You're concentrating on the wrong thing. I don't think I have ever created a constructor for a servlet, or even worried about it.

The container instanitates the servlet, you don't worry about this.
The container initialises the servlet - this is where you come in.

I would say three constructors ?

GenericServlet -> HttpServlet -> MyServlet

I agree. You could use the init method instead to instantiate whatever you want.
