Hi there,
I hope i understood your problem correctly, but just wanted to check. Did you check the settings of the webserver on the The server? I mean is the servlet in a proper directory of a webserver or have u registered it(if u need to). Or u may just wanna check the path which u have put in HTML to call the servlet. I am sure u must have checked all this but just wanted to confi

Well... are you really, really sure about that first bit? What you think is happening and the error message you get are contradictory, and the first thing to do IMHO is sort out which of them is wrong. Try adding a doGet with just 'out.println("Eeks! A get!");' and see what happens.

please check the following link.

and click on quotation
then here,
the servlet " sanquotdhootgroup " is called using post method
and the servlet code is given above

Hi,
try method=post instead of method="post"
in your NewSantroQuot.html
Hope it helps,
Thomas

By the way:
Is your URL in the Form-Tag (NewSantroQuot.html) ok?
Thomas

Dear Sachin,
Nothin to worry abt!It is a simple problem,Let us make a few changes....
1)in your servlet replace doPost() with service() method without changing anything else and now lets see if ur problem is solved
OR
2)if this does not work out make the above said change and change the method=post in html page to method=get
I am sure it should work .......Please let me know ASAP else I will set up the database and work on it...
Thanks,
Harpal
