servlets - Java HttpServlet, override method service, best practice -

for logging purposes, override service method httpservlet this:

@override protected void service(httpservletrequest req, httpservletresponse resp) {     logger.debug("enter servlet");     logger.debug("request header: {}", myhttptools.requestheadertosting(req);      super.service(req, resp);      logger.debug("leaving servlet");     logger.debug("response header: {}", myhttptools.responseheadertosting(resp); } 

i found places in web, authors "don't override service".

what think of approach?

nothing inherently wrong approach.

the authors saying don't override service() business code, override dopost(), doget() etc. methods instead.
