HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

843835Dec 17 2002 — edited Dec 19 2002

Hi all,
Any help would be appreciated regarding this problem I'm having....

I have a JSP (call it Form.jsp) with a form that takes input and passes it to a second JSP (call it Process.jsp). Btw, I'm using Tomcat 3.2.

I'm using the post method for submission i.e.

<form method="post" action="Process.jsp">

Process.jsp simply takes the input and inserts it into a db2 database.
Also, Process.jsp is written as a scriptlet.

The problem is that when I submit the input from Form.jsp the browser (IE 5.5) returns an HTTP 400 Bad Request error. The server returns the following error:

2002-11-17 03:12:28 - Ctx( ): 400 R(+ /myDir/Process.jsp + null) HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

Why am I getting this? What does it mean?

Thanks.
