refresh in post method

[tushar panda]

i know how to refresh in servlet using Get method , but when using Post method it gives error:

"HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL"

is there a way to refresh a servlet using Post method , i need this as my servlet uses Post method.

What do you mean by "to refresh a servlet"? Do you want to refresh the page rendered in the browser or something else? In first case, make sure proper HTTP method is set in the HTML form.

i guess you are triggering the servlet by applying the url in the address bar directly. so in this case only servlets's doGet method calls not doPost. if you want to use

doPost then do as "patil manoj" suggested

when i am using Get method i get no error , but in Post method i got the error(i know that in post the values are not passed in url so i got error).

I just want to know a way using which i can refresh the servlet page in browser using Post method. I hope i am clear this time.

refresh using post method is not a good idea . please search for PRG techniques for more details.

Coming to your question give a jsp url and onload you submit the form which will call the servlet's doPost

the point is i cannot use a jsp url & then submit the form to servlet , because the servlet is already sent from another servlet by request dispatcher, by no means i can access it with a form , i can only retrieve value from that servlet & the value is a cookie value .

now you must be thinking why iam using refresh because unless i refresh i am not getting the values in servlet page.
