servlet doPost() doHead() doGet()等方法被执行的由来

在httpservlet源码中有：

protected void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
        throws ServletException, IOException
    {
        String method = req.getMethod();
        if(method.equals("GET"))
        {
            long lastModified = getLastModified(req);
            if(lastModified == -1L)
            {
                doGet(req, resp);
            } else
            {
                long ifModifiedSince = req.getDateHeader("If-Modified-Since");
                if(ifModifiedSince < (lastModified / 1000L) * 1000L)
                {
                    maybeSetLastModified(resp, lastModified);
                    doGet(req, resp);
                } else
                {
                    resp.setStatus(304);
                }
            }
        } else
        if(method.equals("HEAD"))
        {
            long lastModified = getLastModified(req);
            maybeSetLastModified(resp, lastModified);
            doHead(req, resp);
        } else
        if(method.equals("POST"))
            doPost(req, resp);
        else
        if(method.equals("PUT"))
            doPut(req, resp);
        else
        if(method.equals("DELETE"))
            doDelete(req, resp);
        else
        if(method.equals("OPTIONS"))
            doOptions(req, resp);
        else
        if(method.equals("TRACE"))
        {
            doTrace(req, resp);
        } else
        {
            String errMsg = lStrings.getString("http.method_not_implemented");
            Object errArgs[] = new Object[1];
            errArgs[0] = method;
            errMsg = MessageFormat.format(errMsg, errArgs);
            resp.sendError(501, errMsg);
        }
    }

总结一下servlet的执行过程，当通过页面的方式或者其它方式向servlet发送请求时，会先执行init方法，然后会调用service方法，通过service方法来判断是调用doGet还是doPost方       法，最后当容器被移除时调用destory方法。
