错误分析

getServletConfig()方法是继承与GenericServlet类的，返回一个ServletConfig引用

    public ServletConfig getServletConfig() {
        return this.config;
    }

    private transient ServletConfig config;

而config的值来自于GenericServlet类的init方法

 public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
        this.config = config;
        this.init();
    }

由此可见，GenericServlet类的getServletConfig方法的返回值在源自于此，若子类的方法覆盖了该方法，而又未调用该方法，getServletConfig()返回值自然为null，自然报错。

修改程序

因此，我们只需要在子类中调用父类的init方法即可。

    @Override
    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
        super.init(config);
        System.out.println(666);
    }

结果输出
