DoPost() and doGet() method calling

Question

Hi All,
What is the purpose of calling the doGet() method inside of doPost() instead of calling it directly.
          doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
                                doGet(request,response);
            why we are calling the doGet() method like thisThanks in Advance,
mahes

Seemingly the post and the get do exactly the same thing, so to avoid duplicate code, (s)he just simply had one call the other.
However, you shouldn't really do it this way. You should break out the parts of the methods that are the same into new methods, and call these new methods from both the post and get methods. That will allow the two methods to handle some other things slightly differently. I.E. the get method is not suppossed to cause side effects (i.e. you are not suppossed to change any data when using a get method) whereas post methods can.
