i know that servlets have constructor that is provided by the container

i know that if we provide constructor, you are voilating the container rule.

Why don't you try this and tell us what container says !

No, it doesn't. Servlets are java classes like any other and just like any other class, if you do not provide a constructor, a default constructor is created. It has nothing to do with the container.
