How do you select to call doPost or doGet method of servlet?

When using the Requestdispatcher, how do you select to call doPost or doGet method 
of servlet? How to specify which one to call?

Thanks.

Yes, the client (a browser for example) is the one that decides what 
method of request to use. You respond to any of those types with the 
appropriate method (doGet etc). Note that you can implement one and call 
it from another while passing the request and response objects:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
        throws IOException, ServletException
{
        doPost(req, res);
}

hth,

although you can, in theory, wrap the original request in a
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper with getMethod() overridden to
return the required value.   (If you want to)

You don't.  The call is determined by method on the original request.

You don't.  The call is determined by method on the original request.
