Re: Problem with initializing a servlet.

["Ilya A. Volynets-Evenbakh" <ilya@total-knowledge.com>]

You should never be overriding Servlet::init(ServletConfig&)
There is another one - HttpServlet::init() - not the empty parameter
list.
You should override that one (and there is no need to call parent's
init() method -  it's empty.).
