I totally understand the diff between get n post. The purpose of me posting is to ask about the way to implement a servlet to handle certain file type. What I am more interested to know is how can the servlet know what to do when a request to abc.xml is pass to it. Not whats the different between get and post etc. Please read before replying or don't reply if you don’t' intend to. I don't call myself an expert, but I certainly know what I can or cannot ask here. Thanks for your rude reply.

If tomcat receives a GET-request doGet() is called, if tomcat receives a POST-request doPost() is called. If the client is a browser, all href, src attributes and forms with method="get" are GET-requests. Only forms with method="post" are POST-request. Other clients can choose arbitrary methods to do requests. This is basic knowledge before you even can start to write servlets and this list isn't the platform for this kind of questions. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Aaron Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Freitag, 27.
