servelt() cannot be called directly. Servlet will be instantiated implicitly by Servelt container, in this case we cannot provide initial values using constructor, hence we must go for init() method to initialize

init() method is more robust and broader in scope than the default constructor. init() is part of the servlet life cycle and required to be invoked once before taking any requests and its invoked by the container and it has access to ServletConfig as well.
