Answer / mani
In the Servlet programming context, the destroy() method
can never be called by your code and is called by the
servlet container

Yes you can call a destroy() method in init() method, but
remember destroy() method will behave like normal method
but not as life-cycle method.

This action does not disturb the normal life cycle flow of the servlet. The servlet will work normal. You may test the below code.
/**

*/
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void init(ServletConfig config)throws ServletException{
super.init(config);
destroy();
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println("I am test servlet.");
}
}

Answer / ravikiran
a call to the destroy method will happen and the resources
will be released and the flow will continue as it is and
will throw an exception if the released resource is used
indie the service method call.

Answer / amitasite
One can call destroy method from init method. One scenario
in which you would like to call is some resource is looked
up once in init() method and cleaned in destroy() method. If
exception is thrown before it finishes as servlet is not
brought in service, container won't call destroy method. so
to keep resource clean you can call destroy() method from init()

In the servlet life cycle First our request calls to the
init()method,Inside it will doing some operations related
to the objects after that it will cal the destory() method
The destory()removes the servlet object,before calling to
service() method.
