hai,
init is not a static method. so it cannot be called with out creating an instance. to creat an instance you must use constructor.
i dont know why you asked this question.
bye
have a good one

init() is an instance method. This means that, in order for the servlet to invoke init() it needs to have an instance of your servlet.
aServlet.init();
In order to have a instance of your servlet, the servlet container needs to have executed an statement which might look like this:
aServlet = new YourServlet();
I.e. the constructor gets executed first.
