In my opinion, it's because that developer can only write one public void
init() method but several public constructors of a servlet. There will be no
guarrantee that which constructor will be used by the container, hence the J2EE
STANDARD to use init method to initialise the servlets.

Subject: Servlet Init method
Hi,
I am a beginner in servlet programming. . I have a question in
that. Can anybody clear it for me?
Why do we have init() method instead of constructor. Bcaz
servlet is also a java class file, so why don't we use constructor instead of
init().
