 * GenericServlet is a convenient abstract class for defining Servlets.
 * Servlets which need more control than HttpServlet can extend
 * GenericServlet.
 *

 * it easier to get configuration information.
 *
 * 
Servlet configuration looks like the following:
 *
 * 

 * <servlet servlet-name='myservlet'
 *          servlet-class='test.MyServlet'>
 *   <init-param param1='value1'/>
 *   <init-param param2='value2'/>
