    Unhappy HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL

    Well. I've been finding a solution how should I fix this stuff.

    I look through the internet and i can't find any.

    I searched the forum and found out that quite a few people have the same problem, but did not find a solution.


    LoginLotto.java

    Java Code: 
    package login;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;


public class LoginLotto extends HttpServlet{
	public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
	{
		response.setContentType("text/html");
		PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
		
		out.println("<html>");
		out.println("  <head>");
                // and list go down
    WelcomeLotto.java

    Java Code: 
    package welcome;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;


public class WelcomeLotto extends HttpServlet{
	public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
	{
		response.setContentType("text/html");
		PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
		
		String strUsername = request.getParameter("username");
		String strPassword = request.getParameter("password");
		
		String strUsername2 = "admin";
		String strPassword2 = "technology";
		
		String strValidateUN = strUsername2;
		String strValidatePW = strPassword2;
		
		if(strUsername != strValidateUN ||strPassword != strValidatePW )
		{
			out.println("<html>");
			out.println("  <head>");
                        // and the list go down
    web.xml

    here's some part
    Java Code: 
        <!-- Define servlets that are included in the example application -->


    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>
           LoginLotto
        </servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            login.LoginLotto
        </servlet-class>
    </servlet>
	    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>
           WelcomeLotto
        </servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            welcome.WelcomeLotto
        </servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    
    <!-- JSPC servlet mappings start -->

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>
		LoginLotto
	</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>
		[B]/login[/B]
	</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>
		WelcomeLotto
	</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>
		[B]/welcome[/B]
	</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
    everytime i access http: //localhost:8080/workspace/login , it works pretty fine. but once i click the submit button, a message appears like this:

    HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

    type Status report

    message HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

    description The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource (HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL).
    Apache Tomcat/5.0.28
    as i look at my address bar, it was posted as http ://localhost:8080/workspace/welcome - that only shows that the process moved on the next servlet. but why im getting the http status 405?

    soon, as i click the address bar, then pressing enter (without editing the address path), the Welcome part was fixed.


    how should i get rid of http status 405?

    // dont mind the links, i did it intentionally, i cant post any links yet.

    Can you show the HTML that causes the error code?

    Your question asks about GET but the error message has POST?

    I'm confused with your question posted.

    Here's the exact codes I put inside the .java file.

    LoginLotto.java:

    Java Code: 
    package login;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;


public class LoginLotto extends HttpServlet{
	public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
	{
		response.setContentType("text/html");
		PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
		
		out.println("<html>");
		out.println("  <head>");
		out.println("    <title> EZ LOTTO: Login</title>");
		    
		out.println("    <style type='text/css'>");
		out.println("       body { background: url('image1.gif') }");
		out.println("    </style>");

		out.println("    <script language='JavaScript'>");

		out.println("    function verify() {");
		out.println("      var themessage = 'Invalid input. Username/Password is required.';");
		out.println("        if (document.form.first.value=='' || document.form.last.value=='') {");
		out.println("          themessage = themessage + ' - EZ Lotto';");
		out.println("        }");
		    
		out.println("        if (themessage == 'Invalid input. Username/Password is required.') {");
		out.println("          document.form.submit();");
		out.println("        }");
		out.println("        else {");
		out.println("          alert(themessage);");
		out.println("          return false;");

    Can you show the HTML that causes the error code?

    How do you send a request to a server without there being HTML?

    You open a browser, enter a URL, send a request to a server. The server returns a page of HTML containing a <FORM tag. You enter data into the form and press a submit button. The browser sends the request (either a GET or a POST) to the server.
    THe HTML contains an attribute that says to GET or POST.
    The error message you posted says that the HTML used a POST. Your thread title says the HTML used a GET.
    If you will look at the page source in your browser you will be able to see which it is.

    Default This worked for me

    Hi,

    I'm posting this for the benefit of others who might encounter this thread after searching for a solution to: 'HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL'.

    I had the same problem. My initial HTML form (i.e. entry point to the application) is called: form.html.

    I did not have an element for this form within in the <welcome-file-list></welcome-file-list> tags in the web.xml deployment descriptor file.

    Adding this resolved the error:

    <welcome-file>form.html</welcome-file>

    I.e. - in context:

    <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>form.html</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

    It's likely the form HTML is invoking a POST operation, and your servlet only implements the doGet() method. Since you don't have a doPost(), or in this case, since the POST operation would be the same as the GET anyway, just also implement the doPost() method in your servlets, and have them just call your doGet, like this.

    Java Code: 
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
  {
    doGet(request, response);
  }

    In your HTML, put the method name as "GET".
