Hi If u use dopost, the parameters as well as their values won't appear in the URL. So, If u r doing any insert update , delete transactions then u can go for this. On the otherhand,if u use doGet,the parameters and their values would appear in the URL. So, u can use in for retrieve , select statements. One more advantage here is, users who access the page can bookmark that page and can directly visit that page. Hope our folks can add more .....to get clarified. regards wilson "Srinivasan S (Systems Engineering Group)" wrote: > Hello people, > > I have a basic doubt in servlets what is the difference > between an service method and doPost and doGet methods > could u please explain me in detail abt this with an > example please i referred lot of examples but none > was forthcoming please help me to understand. > > I have a windowNT4.0 workstation how do i make as a > servlet server so that people access them.
