This action does not disturb the normal life cycle flow of the servlet. The servlet will work normal. You may test the below code.

/**

*/
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {


public void init(ServletConfig config)throws ServletException{
super.init(config);
destroy();
}

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {

System.out.println("I am test servlet.");
}

}
