New to servlets...does servlet remain in memory all the time..

[patnim17]

Hi,
I am new to servlets. My questions is when there is a HTTP request for a servlet, then the servlet gets loaded in the memory and and the init() method is called. After it is invoked once, does it remain in the memory, forever.
When is it removed from the memory?

In effect, the servlet is loaded into the JVM once, and once only for the lifetime of the container - and init() is only called once.
