I don't now about other people opinion, but I really think it's better when
the browser 'Refresh' button just fetch whatever link in the text bar. I
could not see any benefit of clicking refresh to post the last request. This
lead to many of the 'interesting features' from a lot of sites where the
browser ask the unscrupulous question whether you want to repost the data
(both IE and Netscape) have odd messages.
And then again, people with limited experience like myself tend to expect
the other applications to behave what I think is right, and not the other
way around.

not necessarly, and adept user will see that in the doGet() method we pass
the parameter on the link, I mean something like this
/servlet/my_servlet.html?data1=horriblecode
Actually now that I think about it, I really am not sure how do the servlet
engine handle the parameter in doPost() from the form. Transparent as it is
from the serlvet programmer, it really helps to understand the nitty gritty
of servlet.
