Can't be done I'm affraid.
There are 2 possibilities for hacking it:
1. output a page to the browser with the POST (as a form) which
points to your target servlet - then have JS on the page immediatly
action the form.
2. overload the request going to a RequestDispatcher
RequestDispatcher
rd=getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/destinationservlet");
HttpServletRequest fooledrequest=new HttpServletRequest()
{
// implementation of all methods...
public String getMethod()
{
return "POST";
}
public String getRequestURI()
{
return request.getRequestURI();
}
};
Neither method is very good but I would suggest the former is a
better because it's not a simulation.
