Re: doPost method error??? Please help!!!

Hi !!

I think your problem is something else.

Let me explain something:

There are two (most common) ways to invoke a servlet.
The first one is : http://www.somewhere.com/servlet/YourServlet
                      or
http://www.somewhere.com/servlet/YourServlet?param1=1&param2=yes

This will invoke the servlet's doGet method .

The second one by having in a HTML form:
  <form method="post"
action="http://www.somewhere.com/servlet/YourServlet">
   <input type....>

</form>
this will invoke the servlet's doPost method

special case (rarely used) :
         <form method="get".....>
        ....
   this will invoke also the servlet's doGet method

So if U write in a browser ( i think this is your case)
http://www.somewhere.com/servlet/YourServlet
this will ALWAYS look for the doGet method and since U don't have it you get
the error message.

So if U want that your servet's doPost mehod to be invoked you need a HTML
PAGE with a FORM  in it.

Hope it helps.
        Best wishes,
                                Andras
