Well, do you mean POST from web-form? Then it would be:
<form name="posttest" action="http://server/servlet/ServletName"
method="POST">
Name: <input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit">
</form>
If you asking how to handle POST's from a servlet, it would be:
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class ServletName extends HttpServet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
String name = request.getParameter("name");
out.println("The parameter name = " + name);
}
/* Also you can redirect POST<->GET methods by doing this: */
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServeltResponse
response) {
doPost(request, response);
}
}
That's about it. To secure it, just put this stuff under secure section
of your site.
Or request it thru secure https protocol.
Good luck,
John.
