SIMPLEST servlet example please

Question

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could post a java servlet example that accepts a string array (let's say we pass "A" and "B") and returns back a string array (let's say "1" and "2") without having to use a doGet or doPost. This would simply be passed as a value as one normally might, using a procedure or function.
Help on this is greatly appreciated. I am using this to access DB information, and already have the rest of the code finished, however I must implement this as a servlet.
Thanks...

Hello lafnjack,
A servlet is a kind of plugin-class that is connected to a HTTP-server to handle HTTP requests by interpreting the request itself and generating the response.
Therefore, a servlet is called through methods that are in parallel to the HTTP requests GET, POST and in some cases the other variants. Having said this, it should be obvious that a servlet has no more options for functioning than implementing doGet/doPost etc functions.
