Using classes not specified in javax.servlet.*;

Question

I have a java program whose pupose is to execute a Login function. It uses the servlet and jsp classes although it also uses java.io.*; and java.sql.*;. When I attempt to execute the class from Tomcat I receive a 405 error listing one of my methods ("Get" which is part of the sql class) as not supported. Is there a way for Tomcat to accept these external classes? (They are of course imported in the compiled code which I have written.)
Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

I have implemented your suggestion and unfortunately it states that (now instead of not supporting the Get Method) it does not support the Post Method.
This does seem to say that I need both a doGet() and a doPost().
I am stumped on this one, any help would be appreciated. My code (including the change as suggested in the previous reply) is as follows:
import java.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class Login extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
doPost(req, res);
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
String userId = req.getParameter("name");
String password = req.getParameter("password");
try {
String uName = validateUser(userId, password);
if (uName == null) {
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println("Please verify the UserId and password");
out.close();
else
HttpSession userSession = req.getSession(true);
userSession.setAttribute("userName", uName);
RequestDispatcher rd =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher
("/SF_board.jsp");
if (rd != null)
rd.forward(req,res);
catch (SQLException e)
catch (ClassNotFoundException ex)
}
