* GenericServlet implements the Servlet
* and ServletConfig interfaces. GenericServlet
* may be directly extended by a servlet, although it's more common to extend
* a protocol-specific subclass such as HttpServlet.
*
*
GenericServlet makes writing servlets
* easier. It provides simple versions of the lifecycle methods
* init and destroy and of the methods
* in the ServletConfig interface. GenericServlet
* also implements the log method, declared in the
* ServletContext interface.
*
*
To write a generic servlet, you need only
* override the abstract service method.
