HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL - getting error with RequestDispatcher

Question

I'm creating a login page and want to hide .jsp into URL bar, So i tried to use the following:

Here my loginPage.jsp :

<form class="m-t-md" action="loginAccount">
    <div class="form-group">
    <input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email" required>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
    <input type="password" password="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required>
    </div>
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success btn-block">Login</button>
    <a href="forgot.html" class="display-block text-center m-t-md text-sm">Forgot Password?</a>
    <p class="text-center m-t-xs text-sm">Do not have an account?</p>
    <a href="signup" class="btn btn-default btn-block m-t-md">Create an account</a>
</form>

here is my login where i'm calling loginPage.jsp using RequestDispatcher :

public class login extends HttpServlet
{
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException{

        response.setContentType("text/html");


        RequestDispatcher RequetsDispatcherObj =request.getRequestDispatcher("./loginPage.jsp");
        RequetsDispatcherObj.forward(request, response);
    }
}

Which gives me this error:

I did used as well doPost instead doGet but still getting the same error.

Answer 1

I see that you have 2 servlets here pertaining to login. One is com.pages.login and another com.login.loginAccount . However, your form submission will be passed on to your com.login.loginAccount (and not to your com.pages.login servlet). This is clearly indicated in the action attribute of your form:

<form class="m-t-md" action="loginAccount">

You posted code from your com.pages.login servlet. However, it is not the one handling the form submission. You can do one of the following:

Edit your servlet com.login.loginAccount . Make sure that doGet method is declare to handle the form submssion.

package com.login;

public class loginAccount extends HttpServlet {
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException{
        ...
    }
    ...
}

Or you can update your form element, add method attribute and set it to POST

<form class="m-t-md" action="loginAccount" method="POST">

Answer 2

Your form says action=loginAccount , /loginAccount url is mapped to servlet name loginAccount . Servlet loginAccount points to class com.login.loginAccount . You may point the /loginAccount mapping to servlet with name login :

<servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>login</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/loginAccount</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

OR

Change your form action to login
