DoPost is not getting called in my servlet

Question

Hi All
I have a servlet where I have doGet and doPost methods. My doGet is working but code written in my doPost is not getting fired.Please have a look :
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
int count;
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
String initial = config.getInitParameter("initial");
try {
count = Integer.parseInt(initial);
catch (NumberFormatException e) {
count = 0;
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
res.setContentType("text/plain");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
count++;
out.println("Since loading (and with a possible initialization");
out.println("parameter figured in), this servlet has been accessed");
out.println(count + " times.");
doPost(req, res);
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
     throws ServletException, IOException {
     PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
     out.println("in do post");
Thanks

Hi Zsom ,
Thanks for your reply. Here is my code for calling the servlet.
          String base = "http://host:ip/Test2/TestServlet";
          String fileName = sourceFile.getPath();
          System.out.println("sourceFile size " + sourceFile.length());
          FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(sourceFile);
          URL url = new URL(base + "?name=" + sourceFile.getName());
          con = url.openConnection();
          con.setRequestProperty("REQUEST_METHOD", "POST");
          con.setDoInput(true);
          con.setDoOutput(true);
          con.setUseCaches(true);
          con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart-formdata");
          DataOutputStream dataOut = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream());
          int c = 30720;
          byte b[] = new byte[c];
          for (int i = fin.read(b, 0, c); i >= 0; i = fin.read(b, 0, c)) {
               dataOut.write(b, 0, i);
          System.out.println(dataOut.size());
          dataOut.close();
          fin.close();
          //deleting files from tmp folder
          //File tmpDir = new File("C:\\tmpGravity");
          //deleteDir(tmpDir);
