20. Servlet and Constructor    coderanch.com

therefore remember that the only constructor that may make any sense to create is a no-argument constructor as that's the only one that the servlet engine will expect there to be and thus call. But of course the correct place for servlet initialisation code is inside the servlet's init method, not the constructor! And please don't think to do such things ...

26. can we declare private constructor in servlet    coderanch.com

You can, but there would be little point since it would not be called by the container when loading the Servlet, and in doing so you may prevent the no-arg constructor from being called and stop the Servlet from being initialised at all. The short answer is: not in any meaningful sense, no.

27. servlet constructor?    coderanch.com

Originally posted by Bear Bibeault: That is not correct. A servlet can have a constructor just like any other class. Constructors in servlets are pretty useless so you don't see them very often, the servlet life-cycle init() method being the proper place to perform setup code. But adding a constructor does not make the servlet "not a servlet".

A Servlet is interesting not because of the fact that it is a servlet, but because of the fact that it can be initalized with a unique set of parameters, as defined in the web.xml file. You can't access the initialized, InitParameters in the constructor, but you can in the init method. ...

37. Why cann't we initialize servlets in constructor?    coderanch.com

Hi, Who says you can't initialize anything in Servlet'Constructor, only thing is that you won't be able to take advantage of some of beautiful features of the Servlet API, such as access to ServletConfig object.
