default constructor and init method

[Brij Garg]

container first calls the default constructor and then the init method.

Is it corrent or it is other way around ?

thanks

how would it call the init method on an instance before it was created using the constructor?

[Brij Garg]

If i am not wrong you are saying that container calls constructor first and create the instanace and then this instance calls the init method.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

Correct. A servlet is the same as any Java Class: you need to create an instance via a constructor before you can call methods on the instance.
