I'm using Axis 1.4 with Tomcat 5.5.17 and j2sdk1.4.2_12 Anne Thomas Manes wrote: > > I suggest using a servlet filter to catch this request. > > On 8/16/06, jansson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> ANYBODY?? >> Help... >> >> >> >> jansson wrote: >> > >> > I'm currently developing a servlet for two way communication, and need >> to >> > be able to handle an empty post. >> > >> > I have a set of methods the client may call, but when the client >> doesn't >> > have any more requests, it sends an empty HTTP post to my servlet.
