HTTP POST

[simperitog]

Is HTTP POST supported in JBOSS 3.0.4/4.1.12 ? If so , what needs to done configuration wise ? Is there any xml config file that needs to be tweaked - there seems to be no dearth of these files.

The following is the error message I get on the client side.

"java.io.IOException: Connection failure with 405"
HTTP Method POST is not supported by this URL.

JBoss uses Jetty (or Tomcat) for servlets - and http post is supported. If you have a distribution with one of them installed, you should be able to run servlets that accept posts.

You'd have to show some code for anyone to figure out the problem.

Yes, it is mentioned in the email that I am using the
JBoss-Tomcat integrated version.

Here are the code snippets. The client is a simple Applet and the Server is a simple Servlet.

The Applet
==========
smsurlcon = (HttpURLConnection) nurl.openConnection();
smsurlcon.setDoOutput(true);
smsurlcon.setDoInput(true);
smsurlcon.setUseCaches(false);
smsurlcon.setRequestProperty("Content type","text/bsv");
OutputStream os = smsurlcon.getOutputStream();
String sout = "param="+cmd1+","+cmd2+","+cmd3;
os.write(sout.getBytes());
os.flush();
is = smsurlcon.getInputStream();

//is = nurl.openStream();
int i = 0;
while (!(is.available()>0)&& i < 10)
{
i++;
Thread.currentThread().sleep(100);
System.out.println(" waiting " + i);
}

The Servlet
============
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
System.out.println(" Entering doPost()");
System.out.println("Content type: "+request.getContentType());
doX(request, response);
}
