First servlet looks for the service() method.If in the case service() method is not present in that appilication, then looks for the doPost() method.If doPost() method is also not present in your appilication ,then servlet looks for the doGet() method.when u used tha doGet() method,This method will shows to "Querystring" also.It doesnot provide the security.

U can have all the 3 methods in a servlet, but only the service() method gets called.

Servlet Container always calls the Service(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) method whenever a new request has come. If ur servlet extends HttpServlet then the Service(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) calls Service(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) after typecasting the ServletRequest/Reponse to HttpServletRequest/Response. If u override this Service(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) method then that will be called. If u dont override the service(Ht..,Ht..) then the default implementation of HttpServlet gets called , which in turn calls the doGet() or doPost() based on the <form> tag method.

If we want to handle all the request types from a single method then the servlet can simply implement the service() method.However if we choose to implement the sevice() method we cannot use the doGet() or doPost methods unless we call super.service at the beginning of the service method.
