Pls anyOne Explain the difference between servlet creation and servlet loading....

Servlet can initialize when it recieves a request for that srvlet first time. This is called servlet creation.

The process of loading servlet before any request comes then this is called sevletloading
It loades with the help of <load-on-startup> attribute from the deployment descriptor

hi
ServletLoading:
While running your Servlet class,classloader will read the information available in your servlet and places inside classArea(nothing but a memory created by JVM).

ServletCreation:
There are serval cases in creating servlet object.Genaral case is ,when your browser sends first request to the servlet ,the web-container will create the servlet object.
Web-container has the liberty when to create a servlet object and when to destroy it.

When browser make a request container find that the request is for servlet this time container create two object ie request and response this is know as creation ,and then the servlet thread is created and then all the initialization parameter is called this is known as servlet loading
