servlets/calling post method

[arnabkundu]

Hello
Is there any way by which you can call the Post method of a servlet from
an anchor.By default it always calls the Get method and the code
<a href = "http://32.72.105.2:8080/servlet/servletName" methods = "Post">
tries to call the get method of the servlet

Hi,

I'm not sure that <a href="..."> tag accpets POST or GET methods.The 'methods' attribute of this tag is used for browser-dependent presentation methods not the POST or GET methods. The method="POST" is used in the <FORM> tag. Also HTTP protocol is case-sensitive to its methods name, so you should use POST or GET instead of "Post" or "Get".

Hope to this help.

Hi
you could always transfer it to the post in your get function

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
doPost(req, res);
}




i hope this will help
