How i can send HTTP POST directly in java - web-services

Question

I want to send an HTTP POST request with payload morethan 255 to URL as shown
http://127.0.0.1:8080/Application_name
, it should hit a Servlet directly , For that I configured web.xml as shown below.
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:javaee="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4">
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>Servlet</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Servlet_INTERFACE</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.app.package1.Servlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet_INTERFACE</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Servlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
When i tried , all request is going as GET only. When i tried
http://127.0.0.1:8080/Application_name/Servlet
then its working fine
is it possible?
If yes , How can i do it?
Is Aliasing is a Solution

Answer 1

The Servlet handles requests in 2 methods only one of them depending of the request type:
doGet
doPost
you can write something like this in your servlet:
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException, IOException
{
......GET CODE.....
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException, IOException
{
......POST CODE.....
}
