If your Servlet extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet, then you
either override init(ServletConfig config), in which case you must
call super.init(config), or you override the zero-arg init(), in which
case no call to super.init() will be required.
Relevant javadocs quotes:
javax.servlet.GenericServlet#init(ServletConfig config):
* <p>This implementation stores the {_at_link ServletConfig}
* object it receives from the servlet container for later use.
* When overriding this form of the method, call
* <code>super.init(config)</code>.
javax.servlet.GenericServlet#init():
* A convenience method which can be overridden so that there's no need
* to call <code>super.init(config)</code>.
*
* <p>Instead of overriding {_at_link #init(ServletConfig)}, simply
override
* this method and it will be called by
* <code>GenericServlet.init(ServletConfig config)</code>.
* The <code>ServletConfig</code> object can still be retrieved via
{_at_link
* #getServletConfig}.
If your servlet does not perform any initialization, then simply don't
override any
of the init methods.
