Answer / d.murali krishna

when ever a web application (.war file)is deployed in to
running server, immediatly the server reads corresponding
configuration file.


if parsing of that web.xml is succeded, then only
ServeletContext instance is created, other wise
ServletContext instance creation is failed. Then that web
application is not ready to provide services.

When ever a request is given to Servlet first time, first
Servlet instance is created, then its ServletConfig
instance is created.
