yes, we can write constructor on our own but it should be
no argument public constructor only, cause container will
create the object so it needs no argument constructor.

Answer / abhishek taneja
yes offcourse you can write a constructor for a servlet
after all it is a java class. you can simply provide but if
u do not provide then it is by default include the no
argument constructor that is used by the Init() method in
the servlet life cycle.

Answer / tharun raj
yes, we can provide a constructor in servlet calss..
Webcontainer uses the similar code shown below for creating
servlet object for our servlet class
Class c=Class.forName("OurServlet");
Object o=c.newInstance();
this newInstance() method uses zero argument constructor
while creating object..

Answer / chandra
constructor required, but it should be public no-argument
constructor. even though if you are not write that
constructor java compiler will create that construtctor by
default. for that your servlet class should be public other
wise you will get RuntimeWxception saying RequestedResource
is not available like that.

Answer / narayana rao dasari
yes.....! we can write constructor for servlet class why
because every java class allows construction initialization
if we do not write constructor explicitly it will call
default constructior.
If we call our own constructiors means we will not able to
access the servelet config objects so better wat is to
intializeing in init() method......thank u,
Narayan

we cann't write a constructor because the servlet container
will create the instance of the servlet by calling the
