java.lang.Object
- javax.servlet.GenericServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Servlet, ServletConfig

Direct Known Subclasses:

HttpServlet
```
public abstract class GenericServlet
extends Object
implements Servlet, ServletConfig, Serializable
```
Defines a generic, protocol-independent servlet. To write an HTTP servlet for use on the Web, extend HttpServlet instead.
GenericServlet implements the Servlet and ServletConfig interfaces. GenericServlet may be directly extended by a servlet, although it's more common to extend a protocol-specific subclass such as HttpServlet.
GenericServlet makes writing servlets easier. It provides simple versions of the lifecycle methods init and destroy and of the methods in the ServletConfig interface. GenericServlet also implements the log method, declared in the ServletContext interface.
To write a generic servlet, you need only override the abstract service method.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`destroy()` Called by the servlet container to indicate to a servlet that the servlet is being taken out of service.
`String`	`getInitParameter(String name)` Returns a `String` containing the value of the named initialization parameter, or `null` if the parameter does not exist.
`Enumeration<String>`	`getInitParameterNames()` Returns the names of the servlet's initialization parameters as an `Enumeration` of `String` objects, or an empty `Enumeration` if the servlet has no initialization parameters.
`ServletConfig`	`getServletConfig()` Returns this servlet's `ServletConfig` object.
`ServletContext`	`getServletContext()` Returns a reference to the `ServletContext` in which this servlet is running.
`String`	`getServletInfo()` Returns information about the servlet, such as author, version, and copyright.
`String`	`getServletName()` Returns the name of this servlet instance.
`void`	`init()` A convenience method which can be overridden so that there's no need to call `super.init(config)`.
`void`	`init(ServletConfig config)` Called by the servlet container to indicate to a servlet that the servlet is being placed into service.
`void`	`log(String msg)` Writes the specified message to a servlet log file, prepended by the servlet's name.
`void`	`log(String message, Throwable t)` Writes an explanatory message and a stack trace for a given `Throwable` exception to the servlet log file, prepended by the servlet's name.
`abstract void`	`service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)` Called by the servlet container to allow the servlet to respond to a request.

- Constructor Detail
  - GenericServlet
```
public GenericServlet()
```
    Does nothing. All of the servlet initialization is done by one of the init methods.
- Method Detail
  - destroy
```
public void destroy()
```
    Called by the servlet container to indicate to a servlet that the servlet is being taken out of service. See Servlet.destroy().
    
    Specified by:
    
    destroy in interface Servlet
  - getInitParameter
```
public String getInitParameter(String name)
```
    Returns a String containing the value of the named initialization parameter, or null if the parameter does not exist. See ServletConfig.getInitParameter(java.lang.String).
    This method is supplied for convenience. It gets the value of the named parameter from the servlet's ServletConfig object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getInitParameter in interface ServletConfig
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - a String specifying the name of the initialization parameter
    
    Returns:
    
    String a String containing the value of the initialization parameter
  - getInitParameterNames
```
public Enumeration<String> getInitParameterNames()
```
    Returns the names of the servlet's initialization parameters as an Enumeration of String objects, or an empty Enumeration if the servlet has no initialization parameters. See ServletConfig.getInitParameterNames().
    This method is supplied for convenience. It gets the parameter names from the servlet's ServletConfig object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getInitParameterNames in interface ServletConfig
    
    Returns:
    
    Enumeration an enumeration of String objects containing the names of the servlet's initialization parameters
  - getServletConfig
```
public ServletConfig getServletConfig()
```
    Returns this servlet's ServletConfig object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getServletConfig in interface Servlet
    
    Returns:
    
    ServletConfig the ServletConfig object that initialized this servlet
    
    See Also:
    
    Servlet.init(javax.servlet.ServletConfig)
  - getServletContext
```
public ServletContext getServletContext()
```
    Returns a reference to the ServletContext in which this servlet is running. See ServletConfig.getServletContext().
    This method is supplied for convenience. It gets the context from the servlet's ServletConfig object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getServletContext in interface ServletConfig
    
    Returns:
    
    ServletContext the ServletContext object passed to this servlet by the init method
    
    See Also:
    
    ServletContext
  - getServletInfo
```
public String getServletInfo()
```
    Returns information about the servlet, such as author, version, and copyright. By default, this method returns an empty string. Override this method to have it return a meaningful value. See Servlet.getServletInfo().
    
    Specified by:
    
    getServletInfo in interface Servlet
    
    Returns:
    
    String information about this servlet, by default an empty string
  - init
```
public void init(ServletConfig config)
          throws ServletException
```
    Called by the servlet container to indicate to a servlet that the servlet is being placed into service. See Servlet.init(javax.servlet.ServletConfig).
    This implementation stores the ServletConfig object it receives from the servlet container for later use. When overriding this form of the method, call super.init(config).
    
    Specified by:
    
    init in interface Servlet
    
    Parameters:
    
    config - the ServletConfig object that contains configutation information for this servlet
    
    Throws:
    
    ServletException - if an exception occurs that interrupts the servlet's normal operation
    
    See Also:
    
    UnavailableException
  - init
```
public void init()
          throws ServletException
```
    A convenience method which can be overridden so that there's no need to call super.init(config).
    Instead of overriding init(ServletConfig), simply override this method and it will be called by GenericServlet.init(ServletConfig config). The ServletConfig object can still be retrieved via getServletConfig().
    
    Throws:
    
    ServletException - if an exception occurs that interrupts the servlet's normal operation
  - log
```
public void log(String msg)
```
    Writes the specified message to a servlet log file, prepended by the servlet's name. See ServletContext.log(String).
    
    Parameters:
    
    msg - a String specifying the message to be written to the log file
  - log
```
public void log(String message,
                Throwable t)
```
    Writes an explanatory message and a stack trace for a given Throwable exception to the servlet log file, prepended by the servlet's name. See ServletContext.log(String, Throwable).
    
    Parameters:
    
    message - a String that describes the error or exception
    
    t - the java.lang.Throwable error or exception
  - service
```
public abstract void service(ServletRequest req,
                             ServletResponse res)
                      throws ServletException,
                             IOException
```
    Called by the servlet container to allow the servlet to respond to a request. See Servlet.service(javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse).
    This method is declared abstract so subclasses, such as HttpServlet, must override it.
    
    Specified by:
    
    service in interface Servlet
    
    Parameters:
    
    req - the ServletRequest object that contains the client's request
