Hi, There are very few "never" statements that are strictly true in programming. But it's fair to say you should rarely override the service method. Mostly it just checks the incoming request's method (GET, POST, etc.) and called the appropriate method (doGet, doPost, etc.). Since you don't want to duplicate this logic, nor do you normally want to deal with PUT, TRACE, and other misc requests, the most common course is to implement doGet/doPost or both (usually one just calling the other).
