It's telling you that you did not implement doPost in your servlet and the form you are submitting specified a method of "POST"

[vipul patel]

In your servlet, I believe you have only implemeted doGet(..) method. But In HTML form, you are submitting a form data using POST method, so when container calls a service() method of GenericServlet class, it tries to find doPost() method. (Because the type of request coming from browser is POST). But doPost() does not exist so you are getting that error.
