"HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL"

@Override

throws IOException,ServletException{
    this.doPost(request,response);
}
@Override 
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) 
                                   throws IOException,ServletException{
    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    ServletOutputStream out=response.getOutputStream();
    File pdf=null;
    BufferedInputStream buf=null;
    try{
        pdf=new File("C:\\Users\\lk\\Desktop\\Desktop\\ example.pdf");
        response.setContentLength((int)pdf.length());
        FileInputStream input=new FileInputStream(pdf);
        buf=new BufferedInputStream(input);
        int readBytes=0;
        while((readBytes=buf.read())!=-1)    out.write(readBytes);
    }catch(IOException e){
        System.out.println("file not found!");
    }finally{
        if(out!=null) out.close();
        if(buf!=null) buf.close();
    }
}
}

回答1:

The Servlet code seems correct. Provide web.xml entry and Servlet calling URL.

There are two main reasons which cause this error:

1) You do not have a valid doGet() method, when you type the servlet’s path in address bar directly, the web container like Tomcat will try to invoke the doGet() method.

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException{
....
}

2) You made a HTTP post request from a HTML form, but you do not have a doPost() method to handle it. The doGet() can not handle the “Post” request.

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException{
....
}

回答2:

I had this same problem just now. "HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL". My solution was as follows:

public abstract class Servlet extends HttpServlet {

    protected HttpServletRequest req;
    protected HttpServletResponse resp;

    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
        this.req = req;
        this.resp = resp;
        this.requestManager();
    }

    @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
        this.req = req;
        this.resp = resp;
        this.requestManager();

    }

    protected abstract void requestManager() throws IOException;
}

I had problem in my constructor, because the "doGet" I was calling the super

回答3:

Replace the line

pdf=new File("C:\\Users\\lk\\Desktop\\Desktop\\ example.pdf");

with

pdf=new File("C:/Users/lk/Desktop/Desktop/example.pdf");

and then proceed again.

回答4:

you need to do

<form action="servlet name " method="post">

in your index.jsp file

回答5:

When the above error appears then override doGet() method.

@Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(req, resp); //To change body of generated methods, choose Tools | Templates.
    }

回答6:

I was using html file. To create web page. So when I encountered with this error. My solution was: Just to remove " index.html " path in my web.xml file. becayse my html file name was the same as "index.html"

回答7:

Each servlet must contain a doGet() method, which is defaultly executed by server. so see that you have doGet method.
