I have db file with 210 fields per row.
Once a day, I would like to run a servlet that reads a row of data, sets a
flag as processed and then send out the row data(200 fields) to an e-mail's
message body(the email address and the processed flag are fields included in
the db file).
Then repeat the process until all rows have been emailed.
My current servlet reads the db data and outputs it to the browser.
My assumption was that I need to modify the servlet to include a doPost
method to open a socket to the mail server, and transmit the message via
SMTP protocol.
Is it possible to read a row of data using a doGet method, then email that
data, set the processed flag without using doPost method?
I think I hear you saying, that the doPost would be the wrong method since
my objective here doesn't involve an HTML form.
If so, what are you suggesting?
Perhaps, this shed a little more light on what I'm trying to accomplish!?
Thanks.

I am not sure how you are adding the values to an email, but doPost surely
is not the way to do it. (doPost does not equal post a letter)
doPost and doGet are two ways a form is submitted to a servlet. doGet uses
the URL to transfer the info and doPost does it without using the URL. The
best way to "combine" both is to pass to doPost method the parameters that
you get in doGet and implement the required functionality in the doPost
method.
