Thanks
I think your question should be changed to "Why should not override servlet's service() method?"
Well, the default implementation of the service() method parses the HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT...) and calls the appropriate methods (doGet(), doPost(), doPut() ...) accordingly. If you override the service() method and do not handle all the HTTP methods correctly, there are chances that some kind of requests would not be served.
