-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- No, i guess you are wrong! You can use either get(doGet) or post(doPost) method ! The only difference between them is the following: Get command sends data through get' header and Post sends data through new http headers. This is a HTTP RFC. The problem below seems to be very strange.

At least, that's how mine are developed. - -----Original Message----- From: Rainer Schweigkoffer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 7:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: About GET and POST methods Hi folks ! Being a newbie concerning the use of Tomcat I am marvelling about the following : On SunOS 5.8 I have installed Tomcat 3.2.1 connected to Apache 1.3.19 via mod_jk.so with both an AJP12 (port 8007) and an AJP13 (port 8009) handler installed. The Apache Server is listening on ports 80, 1080, 2080 and 8080, while, for test purposes, I added a Tomcat Http Connection handler on port 7080. Now, we have written a test servlet with differing doGet and doPost methods and an HTML page containing a form that uses method POST, and we observe the following behaviour : o When defining the form's action to directly invoke the servlet via Tomcat on port 7080, method doPost is invoked, o however, when defining action to invoke the servlet via Apache on one of the other ports mentioned above, always method doGet is invoked. Is there any explanation for that - at least to me - surprising behaviour ? Did I overlook anything ? Or is it intended to work that way ? Thank you very much for your kind assistance Rainer - ------ All statements above reflect my personal opinion only.
