Hi
doGet() will be invoked when servlet receive GET request, and doPost() when
receive POST request. For example if you are passing parameter from HTML
form
<form name="form1" target="myServler" method="post">
When servlet received this request it will invoke doPost() method.
Other methods that will be called when servlet receive different kind of
request, for example, is doDelete()
