I think the only work around (it works ) seems to be to set some attribute
in Servlet(A).doPost() like
request.setAttribute("redirect", new Boolean(true) );
and retrieve it at the beginning of Servlet(B).doPost() and call
Servlet(B).doGet().

Would not work, I agree with Hans.
<Hans Bergsten>
If the target servlet needs to process a POST request, it should implement
the doPost() method. I'm not sure why that seems to be a problem in this
case. There's nothing wrong with a servlet that does the same processing
for GET and POST, e.g. by letting doGet() just call doPost() or vice versa.

In my Servlet(B) doGet() constructs a user interface with beans and JSPs and
doPost() does some processing. What I am trying to do after processing user
request to return to the interface(doGet() ) with a message bean in the
request.
