Can we override service() method when servlet extended from HttpServlet?

[Kishan]

You can override service() method from HttpServlet. But it is not recommended.

Reason:
HttpServlet provided implementation for service() method to route the request appropriate doXXX() method based on request method. If the request method GET, it will invoke doGet method method is POST it will invoke doPost method like this.

Hence if you override service() default doXXX method routing won't execute.
