getServletInfo() allows the servlet to return basic information about itself, such as author, version, and copyright.
Usage:
servlet.getServletInfo()    --> Inside doget(..)
Or
<%=getServletInfo()%>   --> Inside JSP

ServeltContext context= getServletContext();
Servlet s= context.getServlet();
s.getServletInfo(); -----------> we can use this in the method

Some applets and applications, for example, the Java Web Server Administration Tool, display information about a servlet. This information can include a short description of the purpose of the servlet, its author, and perhaps its version number. So the Servlet API provides a method to return this information, getServletInfo. By default, this method returns null. While servlet writers are not required to override this method, it is strongly recommended.
e.g. : -

public class SimpleServlet extends HttpServlet
   { ...
    public String getServletInfo()
      {
        return "A simple servlet";
      }
   }
