Here is the way I understand things:
I would not use the service method, and only use doGet and doPost.
As a general convention, I would do this:
I would use doGet if providing data to the server which does not has for purpose
to write to the database (say getting data from a customer profile)
I would use doPost if the client wants to store / update database information
(say creating a new customer profile...)
On thing: passing data using doGet is visible in the URL. Say you want to pass
confidential data, use doPost, at least it's not going to be visible on the URL.
