I am getting this "HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL" error when I run my project. The funny thing is, it was running perfectly fine two days ago. After I made a few changes to my code but then restored my original code and its giving me this error. Could you please help me?
Here is my index.html:
<form method="post" action="login.do">
<div>
<table>
<tr><td>Username: </td><td><input type="text" name="e_name"/>
</td> </tr>
<tr><td> Password: </td><td><input type="password" name="e_pass"/>
</td> </tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" name ="e_submit" value="Submit"/>
Here is my Login servlet:
public class Login extends HttpServlet {
/**
* Processes requests for both HTTP
* <code>GET</code> and
* <code>POST</code> methods.
*
* @param request servlet request
* @param response servlet response
* @throws ServletException if a servlet-specific error occurs
* @throws IOException if an I/O error occurs
*/
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException, SQLException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
try {
/*
* TODO output your page here. You may use following sample code.
*/
int status;
String submit = request.getParameter("e_submit");
String submit2 = request.getParameter("a_submit");
out.println("Here1");
String e_name = request.getParameter("e_name");
String e_password = request.getParameter("e_pass");
String a_name = request.getParameter("a_name");
String a_password = request.getParameter("a_pass");
out.println(e_name+e_password+a_name+a_password);
Author author = new Author(a_name,a_password);
Editor editor = new Editor(e_name,e_password);
// If it is an AUTHOR login:
if(submit==null){
status = author.login(author);
out.println("Author Login");
//Incorrect login details
if(status==0) {
out.println("Incorrect");
RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("index_F.html");
view.forward(request, response);
}
//Correct login details --- AUTHOR
else {
out.println("Correct login details");
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute(a_name, "a_name");
RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("index_S.jsp");
view.forward(request, response);
}
}
//If it is an EDITOR login
else if (submit2==null){
status = editor.login(editor);
//Incorrect login details
if(status==0) {
RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("index_F.html");
view.forward(request, response);
}
//Correct login details --- EDITOR
else {
out.println("correct");
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute(e_name, "e_name");
session.setAttribute(e_password, "e_pass");
RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("index_S_1.html");
view.forward(request, response);
} }
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
} finally {
out.close();
}
}
@Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
super.doPost(req, resp);
}
@Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
super.doGet(req, resp);
}}
