RE: Servlet question, WAS 3.5.2

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, one more question while we're on the subject.  Some of the examples I
see have this:
  public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
  {
    super.init(config);
  }

Some don't.  I know what the init method is for, but why is it in some
examples and not in others?  And what does super.init(config) do?  

Brad
