This is wrong.
If servlet A recieves a POST request and forward()s it to servlet B
the method identifier remains in the request - so servlet B recieves a
POST request as well.
You can do this by forwarding from a simple POST to a servlet which
has the following method:
public void service(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse)
{
Writer out=response.getWriter():
out.setContentType("text/html");
out.println("<html><body><h1>method="+request.getMethod()+"</h1></body></html>");
}
The problem is as I stated previously: webserver servlets don't tend
to implement POST because it's not really right to do that.
