Jason,

If both GET and POST should work the same way, having doPost() call doGet()
is fine. However, I was talking about situations where GET and POST perform
different operations but have some pre-processing in common. In these
cases, having doPost() call doGet() won't work.

If you want both GET and POST to behave the same way, just have doPost()
call doGet().  That makes you HTTP compliant and there's no real extra
work.  It's way easier than the proposed preProcess() call.

public void doPost(...) throws ... {
  doGet(req, res);
}
