1. you call super.init so that the servlet can still execute the init method
(whatever it does) that your servlet is extending (e.g.
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet).
2. config.getInitParameter("paramName") gets the value of the parameter(key)
called "paramName" from the config file. The config file may contain
key-value pairs to initialize the servlet and is read once during loading of
the servlet.
