*从public<code>service</code>方法接收标准HTTP请求，并将它们分派到该类中定义的<code>do</code><i>.</i>方法。此方法是{@link javax.servlet.Servlet#service}方法的HTTP特定版本。不需要重写此方法。
源码：

* <code>service</code> method and dispatches
* them to the <code>do</code><i>Method</i> methods defined in
* this class. This method is an HTTP-specific version of the
* {@link javax.servlet.Servlet#service} method. There's no
* need to override this method.
*
* @param req the {@link HttpServletRequest} object that
* contains the request the client made of
* the servlet
*
* @param resp the {@link HttpServletResponse} object that
* contains the response the servlet returns

* @exception IOException if an input or output error occurs
* while the servlet is handling the
* HTTP request
*
* @exception ServletException if the HTTP request
* cannot be handled

* @see javax.servlet.Servlet#service

自己理解是，service方法负责根据客户端请求的方式，来调用不同的方法执行请求和响应。
service有个重载的方法，public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)
它的主要作用是把请求和响应的类型从
ServletRequest req => HttpServletRequest request;
ServletResponse res => HttpServletResponse response;
看源码：
作用就是强转，转不了报错。
