No reason to call
initfromservice,initis meant to be called by the container – to initialise it with configuration (as the name suggests) and to allow it to do any expensive operations it needs to do (setting up connections to database or whatever).It may make some sense if you wanted to programmatically reconfigure your servlet to call the
initfrom the servlet itself, but I struggle to see this use case.
