Servlet Lifecycle and Working

The lifecycle of a servlet in Java consists of several stages:

  1. Init: The servlet is initialized by calling the init() method once.
  2. Service: The servlet handles client requests by calling the service() method for each request.
  3. Destroy: The servlet is destroyed by calling the destroy() method when it is no longer needed.

During the service stage, the servlet receives requests from clients and generates responses. The servlet container manages the servlet's lifecycle and ensures that the necessary methods are called in the correct order.

Overall, the servlet lifecycle involves initialization, handling requests, and destruction, providing a structured way for servlets to respond to client requests efficiently.
