hi bharat,
both are more or less the same..but the difference lies in the way that it is used..
constructor are written in simple java classes.. but init() methods are written in
servlets.
constructors are invoked whenever an object of that class is created.
where as when you deploy a servlet init() is called for the first time when that servlet is accessed and and rest of the times when severakl client try to access the same servlet only a new
thread is spawned but the object is same.
this object is unloaded from memory only when server is shut down.
i hope you got the difference. if still in doubt then revert back
Bye
