Wether doGet() or doPost() is called depends on the kind of request that is sent to tomcat, not on the file type.
If tomcat receives a GET-request doGet() is called, if tomcat receives a POST-request doPost() is called. If the client is a browser, all href, src attributes and forms with method="get" are GET-requests. Only forms with method="post" are POST-request. Other clients can choose arbitrary methods to do requests. This is basic knowledge before you even can start to write servlets and this list isn't the platform for this kind of questions. > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Aaron Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Freitag, 27.
