doPost() method problem

[Monoj Roy]

I have created a blank form and sending data from javascript to the servlet with the help of the form here below is the code

URL=URL + "&header_hsmChanceGrid="+header_hsmChanceGrid;//and so on

document.myForm.method="POST";
document.myForm.action=URL ;
document.myForm.submit();


Now when I am sending huge data in the URL my servlet is not getting invoked.
but with less data I can get the data in my servlet .


Can anybody have any idea how to pass thease data to my servlet ? Am I doing something wrong POST can manage the data right?Please help

This looks like you are passing parameters as part of the URL? That's not going to work with POST, which doesn't read parameters from the query string.

What makes you think that the servlet is not getting invoked with large data.
maybe its only taking more time

There are limits to what some browsers will send on the queryline.
Initially, the limit was 255 chars. Most browsers allow more than that these days but the querystring is still a poor choice for passing anything but small and predictable amounts of data.

Move that data into the body of your post and you won't need to worry about bumping into a limit.

I am having the data in the javascript level not in the form
I am using the form just to send the data to my servlet .As you are telling me to put the data in the body how can I put the data in the body from the java script?

You can do that by creating an HTML form and using Javascript to submit it.
