Simple servlet Error - 405 - Help needed

[anees ahamed]

Hi,
I am redirecting to a servlet using res.sendRedirect("ValidUserServlet");
Below given is the servlet.
I get the below given error.

HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL
type Status report
message HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL
description The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource (HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL).


I have not used HTTP method GET.
Why does this happen?
Please help.

Regards,
Anees

  
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class ValidUserServlet extends HttpServlet{
	protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
	throws ServletException, IOException {
		PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
		pw.println("Welcome to roseindia.net " + " ");
		pw.println("how are you");
		System.out.println("correctttttttt");
	}
}

A redirect initiates a GET.
