[Kidd He]

I work with win2000,Tomcat 5.5.17,JDK5.0_9

I have trouble at "The first version of the controller servlet".
When I "compiling,deploy,and test the controller servlet",hitting the "Submit",there always a http 405 error,it prints:

HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

----------------------------------------------------------------------------type Status report

message HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

description The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource (HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL).

HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

this means your servlet has a doGet( ) method and your request wants a POST method ( the action attribute of html's form tag is asking for method="post)

maku sure you add this in your servlet

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

Thanks Niranjan !!!
I found I wrote the method "doPost" in the wrong way----"dopost".I should be more careful.
