servlet container creates the init() method

Servlet container invokes the init() method to create the 
instance of servlet.

servlet container calls the init() method to create servlet 
instance

to create an instance of servlet servlet container calls 
newInstance() method

servlet container calls the init() method to create the 
instance of the servlet.
The instance is created for the servlet in which the init() 
method is implemented.

The ServletContainer is used default zero argument 
constructor to create servlet instance then after it calls 
init(ServletConfig cg) it internally calls init()for 
initialization puposes.


Plz guys init() is not used for creation of servlet instance

init() method is only used to initialize a servlet, and it
is called after the servlet instance has been created.

The init() method is only used to initialize an existing 
servlet instance before it starts providing service to 
requests, it's never used for creating a servlet instance. 
I'm searching for the method which creates the servlet 
instace. But I can assure that we can't create a servlet 
instace, it's done by the container.

After The successfull parsing of web.xml container will find
the particular class name which is mapped in web.xml and calls
class.forName(classname).newInstance() method.Then calls
init(ServletConfig config) of GenericServlet for
initializing the instance of the servlet.
