This is not quite right. As I think milt already explained, the init(ServletConfig) method is *always* called by the container. If the load-on-startup order is specified then that controls when the init(ServletConfig) method is called. If the startup order is not specified then the container decides when to call the method. Whatever the start order though it is *always* called before the servlet service's a request.
