My First Servlet....

[henpat123]

HI,
I am new to Java and I am doing my First Servelt. In the init function in a Servlet defined as below:
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException


What exactly is the ServletConfig Object. Is there a External XML Configuration file from where this objet gets initialized?

The ServletConfig object is not generated by you, but by the servlet container.

If you want to use the init() function (which gets called once and only once during that servlet's lifetime), then just add :

public void init() throws ServletException {
// stuff
}
