This is not the answer.
The solution *will* work - but *only* if you have a JSP engine
installed.
You must remember the rules of the web do no allow you to POST to a
static HTML page...
Because of this Web Server servlets (servlets that are mapped to the
default path for serving static HTML and other files) don't tend to
support POST operations.
You have several possible solutions:
1. include() the output of the static page instead
2. ensure you only GET from the servlet
3. output the contents of the HTML file directly when you get a POST
4. write you own webserver servlet to serve files from POST (this is
a bad idea)
