i have a simplistic suggestion, and if anyone doesn't think this is a good
idea, please explain why (I am still learning all this). why not place a
dummy doGet method in Servlet B that calls the doPost method?

Subject: doPost() to doGet() via RequestDispatcher
Hi,
My Servlet-(A) gets a POST request from a form after processing it I need to
pass it to another Servlet-(B) but I need to pass it to Servlet(B)'s doGet()
method. As the original request line was POST, it always invokes
Servlet-(B)'s doPost().
<PRE>
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/servlet/B").include(req, res);
<PRE>
I guest I can set an attribute in the request in the Servlet-(A) before
dispatching and retrieve it at the begginning of Servlet-(B) doPost() and if
true call the doGet(), as a work around.
However, although I could not fond t in API Socumentation, I think there
must/should be a convential way of changing the Method type in the
Request-Line dynamically, as it is encapsulated as an object, i.e.
HttpServletRequest.
Any ideas?
Bulent
