1、自定義類只須要重寫doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) 和doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse, response)的緣由：
一、在HttpServlet接口中重寫了父類的service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response),在這裏面主要完成了將父類的request和response對象轉化成專門用於處理HTTP請求響應的HttpServletRequest和HttpServletResponse對象，而後再調用一個重載的service方法，該方法接收HttpServletRequest和HttpServletResponse對象：
public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
HttpServletRequest request;
HttpServletResponse response;
try {
request = (HttpServletRequest) req;
response = (HttpServletResponse) res;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ServletException("non-HTTP request or response");
}
service(request, response);
}
}
二、在重載的service方法中，調用了doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse)和doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse)，用於處理Get和Post請求和響應：
protected void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
String method = req.getMethod();
if (method.equals(METHOD_GET)) {
long lastModified = getLastModified(req);
if (lastModified == -1) {
// servlet doesn't support if-modified-since, no reason
// to go through further expensive logic
doGet(req, resp);
} else {
long ifModifiedSince = req.getDateHeader(HEADER_IFMODSINCE);
if (ifModifiedSince < (lastModified / 1000 * 1000)) {
// If the servlet mod time is later, call doGet()
// Round down to the nearest second for a proper compare
// A ifModifiedSince of -1 will always be less
maybeSetLastModified(resp, lastModified);
doGet(req, resp);
} else {
resp.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_MODIFIED);
}
}
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
String protocol = req.getProtocol();
String msg = lStrings.getString("http.method_get_not_supported");
if (protocol.endsWith("1.1")) {
resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED, msg);
} else {
resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST, msg);
}
}
由上可知，Servlet引擎在處理用戶請求時所調用的service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse rep)最終會執行doGet和doPost方法中的代碼完成。這就是在自定義的Servlet類中，只要繼承了HttpServlet就只須要重寫doGet和doPost便可。 2、Servlet的生命週期： 一、加載和實例化Servlet對象：由Servlet窗口負責加載Servlet，當Servlet窗口啓動或是檢測到須要這個Servlet響應第一個請求時，將加載這個Servlet。加載的方式是經過反射的API去調用Servelet的無參構造方法完成，因此在自定義的Servlet中不該該出現帶參數的構造方法，若是須要定義有參的構造方法，則必定要把無參的也寫出來。 二、初始化Servlet對象：調用init()方法完成相應的初始化，如讀取初始化參數、鏈接DB等。 三、處理請求：調用service()方法處理請求。以前一這是init()方法執行成功。 四、銷燬Servlet對象：調用detroy()方法。
