DoGet() & doPost() methods in servlets

Question

If we have method=�Get� in <form> tag and the servlet is having only the doPost() method then how the servlet handles the request? Is it possible or not?

Answer 1

Usually business logic for get and post requests is the same, so this managed with additional process method called from doGet() and doPost().
Something like
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {...}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }
