To better understand what Bill told you, you should know that the service method which you overriden, is used to handle the requests done to the Servlets. For a Generic Servlet, is ok to override it, but better than that, you should use an HttpServlet, and instead of overriding the service method, you just simply need to override the doGet()/doPost() methods. Besides that, there are many advantages when using a HttpServlet instead of a GenericServlet in a web-environment, so you might re-analyze your problem. Good day!
