Servlet 执行流程

Servlet 类必须继承 HttpServlet，而HttpServlet继承了GenericServlet，GenericServlet 实现了 Servlet 接口。

J2EE API 中
GenericServlet ：Defines a generic, protocol-independent servlet. To write an HTTP servlet for use on the Web, extend HttpServlet instead.

Servlet 接口有init (),destroy() ,service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) 等接口，新建Servlet类由于继承了HttpServlet自然也有这些方法。

查看HttpServlet 源代码：
service 方法：

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);
        }

该service方法最后再调用 自身的service方法。参数为：

protected void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
String method = req.getMethod();

        if (method.equals(METHOD_GET)) {
        ... 此处判断doGet(req, resp); 或者  doPost(req, resp);

再看doPost方法：

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
        throws ServletException, IOException {

        String protocol = req.getProtocol();
        String msg = lStrings.getString("http.method_post_not_supported");
        if (protocol.endsWith("1.1")) {
            resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED, msg);
        } else {
            resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST, msg);
        }
    }

此方法和doGet一样 方法内部只有错误信息提示，所以在编写自己的Servlet时 只需重写doPost 和 doGet 即可不用，没有必要重写service。如果不重写这这两个方法，就会出现HttpServlet里这两个方法的错误提示。
