> Hi folks !

> Being a newbie concerning the use of Tomcat I am marvelling about the
> following :
>
> On SunOS 5.8 I have installed Tomcat 3.2.1 connected to Apache 1.3.19
> via mod_jk.so with both an AJP12 (port 8007) and an AJP13 (port 8009)
> handler installed.
>
> The Apache Server is listening on ports 80, 1080, 2080 and
> 8080, while,
> for test purposes, I added a Tomcat Http Connection handler on
> port 7080.
>
> Now, we have written a test servlet with differing doGet and doPost
> methods and an HTML page containing a form that uses method POST, and
> we observe the following behaviour :
>
> o When defining the form's action to directly invoke the servlet via
> Tomcat on port 7080, method doPost is invoked,
>
> o however, when defining action to invoke the servlet via Apache
> on one of the other ports mentioned above, always method doGet
> is invoked.
>
> Is there any explanation for that - at least to me - surprising
> behaviour ? Did I overlook anything ? Or is it intended to work
> that way ?
