Question

[farihah noushene]

select the correct sequence of action that a serverlet container perform before servicing any request.

1 instantiate listener defined in deployment descripter
2 initialize filter defined in dd
3 initialize servlet that are set to load on start up
4 call the context initialize method on listener implementing servlet context listener interface

[Shivani Chandna]

The order is listener(instantiate/initialize), filter and then servlet.

[Nikhil Jain]

The order is
1 -> 4 -> 2 -> 3

farihah's question is about initialization order at the container's startup.
You declare servlets, listeners, filters, etc.. in web.xml. The Servlet Specification makes it clear in which order they are initialized.
