OK, you did override GenericServlet#init(ServletConfig). I created a minimal webapp using the web.xml snippet from your OP (classname adjusted) and a servlet containing this init-method: @Override public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException { super.init(config); System.out.println("init called"); } On server startup or redeployment of the webapp, "init called" will appear in catalina.out. In other words: it works just fine for me. The only other obious reason I can think of why it might not work for you is that you got the classname/packetname wrong in your web.xml's <servlet-class> element. But you have undoubtedly already checked that. So I'm out of ideas.
