The doPost and doGet methods are designed in different way. As doGet is
designed to get data from servlet,u can send only query strings to servlet
thru' this method.
hence only getQueryString works for doGet.
While in case of doPost, it is designed to post(send) data to servlet and
can handle parameterized requests for info.
Hence getParameter will work.

i don't think so.
