Your servlet does not override the doGet method, and the default implementation that it inherits from HttpServlet causes a 405.

Ok,Sir

Later on i will keep this in mind while posting.

[Mohini Dhanaskar]

Sir,can you please explain me why there is a need to override doGet method,when already doPost method
is there.

[Tim Moores]

GET and POST are different methods, used for different purposes. They are not interchangeable. You may want to read up on HTTP to learn more about their similarities and their differences, and their respective use cases.
