Answer / sunil jaiswal
Yes, we can call destroy method from init method without any worry. Destroy method will be called up as calling any other method. Request shall still be process afterwards through service method(doGet, doPost etc). Because calling destroy method doesnt mean the killing the servlet instance. Calling the init, service and destroy method is in the specification of servlet lifecycle. So we can not alter those specification through outside. Once the servlet container thinks the servlet is of no use at some time(at the server shutdown) the container surely will be calling up the destroy method prior to destroy the servlet instance.

Answer / deepesh
Yes, We can call destroy() from init() method but after
coming out from the destroy() it will again process the init
() method like the life cycle has to be. Thus we can not
control the servlet life cycle, though we can call destroy
() from init().
Thanks.

Answer / tanuj
yes,
but genricServlet init() method initialization is different
from overriding it by you (we should not orride it).
destroy() method is used for closing many connections as
itit() method is used for starting some database and other
things.
