Subject: [LIP] servlets : RequestDispatcher


> hi
> i am making a website using servlets(jsdk2.1) . i am sending an html page
using RequestDispatcher . my problem is that when i use doGet method the
servlets sends the page  but if i change it to doPost and call the servlet
through some form , the browser shows up "cannot find server error" .
though the window in which servletserver is running does nt show any error.
the RequestDispatcher object is not null but it is still not forwarding the
request.

hi deepak,

    i am not very sure but this may be ur problem.....

in ur html page.... the submit button tag has a property----  method="foo"
if foo.equals(get) then the request is handled by doGet() in ur servlet and
if the foo.equals(post) then doPost() handles the request.... if u change
the doGet() method to doPost() method...... u should change ur html code
accordingly.

hope this helped ;-)
