Servlet Init method

[Senthil_Theerthagiri]

Hi,                   I am a beginner in servlet programming. . I have a question in that. Can anybody clear it for me?                     Why do we have init() method instead of constructor. Bcaz servlet is also a java class file, so why don’t we use constructor instead of init().   Regards SenthilKumar Theerthagiri Satyam Computers Chennai.
