Hey Scott, A good book to pick up is "Java Servlets" by Karl Moss (McGraw-Hill ISBN 0-07-135188-4)...
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0071351884/keysolutionsA/103-872346 8-6787043 Also there's tons of great reference stuff on the net. A good place to start is at Sun... http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/servlets/index.html http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Servlets/Fundamentals /contents.html Hope this stuff helps bud!

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Carter, Scott Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 12:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Very begginer question I am guessing that the first method hit is doGet. When is the doPost method run? What other special methods are there that execute at pre defined times? The example I am looking at is below, it is one of the free examples that comes with the Tomcat web server.
