service( ) method in the HttpServlet class calls the doGet( ) method which processes http requests.

Well the service method tries to determine which of the doXXX method needs to be called.Appropriately either doGet, doPost, doDelete, doPut etc etc are called,

Hi, service is a part of the life cycle for servlet. when a request came in for a servlet, then the container will load the servlet into memory[If the servlet was requested for first time]  and initialize the servlet through init method. which is the first phase of the servlet life cycel. the next phae was service. In this phase, for every request the servlet will check for the header request method either get or post. then, corresponding methods either doGet or doPost will be called. I tried to give a bit more explanation, because you cannot differentiate the doGet and service of a servlet. Hope I gave a clear answer. Thank you.

When we make a request to the application webcontainer makes the request and response object and creates the servlet instance.After it calls the servlet life cycles methods like init().After completing the intialization it calls the service()method passing servletrequest and response objects as parameters.service() method is designed in such a way the depending on type of the requset method it calls the either doGet() or doPost() method.There is no need to make a expicit call to doGet() or doPost() method.

Service method orginates from Generic Servlet and so service method is used to do something which does not involve http protocol.

service handles standard HTTP requests by dispatching them to the handler methods(doXXX) for each HTTP request type
