Question

Which of these functions is not a part
of the servlet lifecycle

Answer 1

Explanation:

Pausing the servlet for a given amount of time is not a part of the servlet lifecycle. A servlet can be checked, invoked and destroyed but it cannot be paused.

Answer 2

The web container calls the service method each time when request for the servlet is received. If servlet is not initialized, it follows the first three steps as described above then calls the service method. If servlet is initialized, it calls the service method. Notice that servlet is initialized only once.
