I am using Apache Tomcat

I got the following error when invoking a jsp.

type Status report

My 2 files are

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

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.
