Hi Kumar,

The server calls a servlet's <b>destroy()</b> method when the servlet is about to be unloaded(e.g. because a new version should be loaded or the server is shutting down). In the <b>destroy()</b> method, a servlet should free any resources it has acquired that will not be garbage collected.The <b>destroy()</b> method also gives a servlet a chance to write out its unsaved cached information or any persistent information that should be read during the next call to init().

Regarding ur next doubt this will help u.

Regards,

Pooja.
