Netprog 2002  -  Servlets
doGet and doPost
§The handler methods each take two parameters:
§HTTPServletRequest:  encapsulates all information regarding the browser request.
§Form data, client host name, HTTP request headers.
§HTTPServletResponse:  encapsulate all information regarding the servlet response.
§HTTP Return status, outgoing cookies, HTML response.
§If you want the same servlet to handle both GET and POST, you can have doGet call doPost or vice versa.
Public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException
{doPost(req,res);}
