Servlet basics

[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 and what is it used for? Is there a External XML Configuration file from where this objet gets initialized?

Sorry,
I realized that I first posted it in the Java Forum and then later found that there is one for Servlet/JSP..so posted it here again.
