error when trying to execute the login servlet - servlets

Question

it says that : HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL.
The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource.
here's my servlet code:

earlier it was working properly . I guess there's something wrong with the post method

Answer 1

The HttpServlet doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) method is
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
String protocol = req.getProtocol();
String msg = lStrings.getString("http.method_post_not_supported");
if (protocol.endsWith("1.1")) {
resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED, msg);
} else {
resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST, msg);
}
}
Which immediately responds with METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED. You haven't overriden this method. You have overloaded it to add a Details parameter. It's therefore not being called
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Details details) throws ServletException, IOException {
Where do you expect these Details to come from? If anything, override the doPost method and make it call your method.

Answer 2

Change
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
Details details) throws ServletException, IOException
To
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
doPost
