Alot easier to read your code if you use the code bars. :)

Hi i see no change in the code.

I never said nor implied that their was a change in the code but it is ALOT easier to read and understand their for getting a better reply.

Not really, the main point about the code tags is to preserve indenting, so that you can line up all those ifs and whiles.

Maybe it is the "WelcomeServlet" page that can't handle POSTs. Maybe you could try doing something simple when you get the original POST, say just returning back some simple html.
