The service() method is available in the Generic servlet and this is used to serve the client request. This method is invoked by the servlet container.

The container initializes the servlet instance by calling the init .After completing the initialization it calls the service () method passing servlet request and response objects as parameters. service () method is designed in such a way the depending on type of the request method it calls the either doGet() or doPost() method. There is no need to make a explicit call to doGet () or doPost() method.

Service method is used to process client request, and generate the dynamic content. This method is invoked by the container when the client request reaches the web container.

When init() method returns successfully then only service() method is called by the servlet container.This method handles each new request coming from the client and new thread is created in the same process.

Depending upon the type of request either get/post, the service method calls appropriate method doGet() or doPost() to response the client request.
