servlets life cycle

[Ravi kapa]

Hi this is ravi,i read the head first servlets and jsp book.It says that container calls are invoke init,service,destroy methods on servlets so i have a doubt that thease are container methods or servlets methods.Can any one suggest me please

[Paul Clapham]

They are methods of the servlet. The container creates instances of the servlets and calls those methods on the instances.
