service()

• The server creates a new thread that calls service() each time a request arrives.
• service() checks the HTTP request type, and calls the appropriate method, usually either doGet() or doPost().
• If you want to handle both doGet() and doPost() the same way, just have one call the other.

• This is where the brains of your servlet exist.  Most of the processing occurs here.
• There are others available (doPut, doDelete, doOptions, doTrace), but these are not frequently used.
