Answer / magesh
The GenericServlet which is the base class of HttpServlet
does not have any handler methods (doGet or doPost) to
entertain the request.Since all web based application or
HHTP based we are extending the HttpServlet and overrinding
atleast one of the hanler methods to entertain the incoming
requests

Answer / dhiraj
All servlet classes extend the HttpServlet abstract class.
HttpServlet simplifies writing HTTP servlets by providing a
framework for handling the HTTP protocol. Because
HttpServlet is abstract, your servlet class must extend it
and override at least one of its methods. An abstract class
is a class that contains unimplemented methods and cannot be
instantiated itself.
