It's simple. If you want the servlet to respond to POST requests then you must implement the doPost() method. And if you want it to respond to GET requests then you must implement the doGet() method.

Please be sure to use code tags when posting code to the forums. Unformatted or unindented code is extremely hard to read and many people that might be able to help you will just move along to posts that are easier to read. Please click this link ⇒ UseCodeTags ⇐ for more information.

Properly indented and formatted code greatly increases the probability that your question will get quicker, better answers.

And, if you want serve both requests, override both doGet() and doPost() methods. The service() method will handle your request appropriately.
