method="post" but doGet() called
Hi all!
I have a form (included below) where I set method="post", but for for a
specific action URL, it arrived in the doGet method instead of the doPost
method.
I have a seervlet-mapping that pics up _all_ resquests to the context:
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
The unexpected behaviour comes when there is nothing after the context in
the action URL:
http://localhost:8080/mycontext
This arrives in doGet.
Putting something after the context works:
http://localhost:8080/mycontext/stuff
This arrives in doPost.
Is this correct behaviour? I am using Opera as browser. Should this make a
difference?

Thank's a million. So I shouldn't spend more time trying to fix it? Rather
I should add the trailing "/" myself to avoid the redirect?

would it be possible to add a configuration parameter to certain contexts so
that the external redirects are replaced by internal forwardings?
I have a m2m application where the clients are not browsers, but simple
dedicated devices that do not implement redirects, and their standard way of
accessing the server is .../mycontext?x=a, so without a trailing '/'.
Since I could not find a url rewrite mechanism, like in Apache, I had to use
a dirty trick, I renamed my context to mycontext-app and I wrote a servlet
in the root context to forward requests from "/mycontext" to
"/mycontext-app/" (beware that .forward() is usually called in the current
context, if another context is needed it should be retrieved first)
having the rewrite done directly by Tomcat (is the DefaultServlet handling
this?) would be a more appropriate solution, imho.
regards,
Liviu

When Tomcat sees a request for 'http://localhost:8080/mycontext' it sends
back a response to redirect to 'http://localhost:8080/mycontext/'. This is
so that relative links to things like images and stylesheets work correctly.
If the browser conformed to the HTTP/1.1 RFC, it would re-request the new
URL with a POST, but I don't know of any browsers that do this.
