Correct. Basically, the HttpServlet service() method looks at what
HTTP method was used (GET, POST, etc.), and dispatches to the
appropriate doXXX() method (most of which have skeletal "this method
not supported by this URL" implementations).
The source code does (did?) come with the JSDK, so you should be able
to check this out yourself.

Correct (unless you implement some similar scheme as above yourself).
