a little bit of confusion in servlet concept.

[dmjpro]

actually i working with JSP.
but yesterday a friend was working with servlet.
there a Q. arised.

that is ...... if my servlet class extends HttpServlet class then if i leave all doGet and doPost method implementation then the service can't be resolved if the request comes with POST or GET method?

i m telling this because these methods r protected.
plz clear my conception.

kind regards.

If I remember correctly your class extends from an abstract class HttpServlet
and your class must implement the doGet and doPost methods, otherwise
your class will be abstract too. The parent class takes care of all the bookkeeping
and your class just implements those methods. The doPost method can delegate
to the doPost method or vice versa.
