Instaniating a Servlet

Mar 03, 2009 05:06:36

This may be a stupid question but still :

If i write a Servlet

class Kiran extends HttpServlet
{

}

If i do this from another servlet or from any java class.

Kiran k = new Kiran()

Will the servlet will get invoked by the container and its init() would be called ??

No it won't. The only thing that should be instantiating servlets is the container itself. Servlets respond to requests; if you wan't to use some servlet functionality send it a request.

Actually, it is exactly the same. Servlets are Java classes so they act just like Java classes.
