When you invoke a Servlet, the servlet engine passes the information on to the Servlets service() method. This method determines the type of request made (GET, POST, HEAD, ...) and calls the function doTYPE, like doGet, doPost. GET and POST just differ in the way form data is sent from the browser to the server. The method doGet handles data that has been attached to the url in the form url questionmark (name=value ampersand)+. Typically in a CGI you would have to read the environment variable QUERY_STRING to get this string of concatenated parameternames and values. With the doPost method, form data comes in through standard input stream, a cgi would just need to open the input stream and read until EOF to get the form data.
With Servlets, you don't need to read in the concatenated string of parameternames and values. The parsing is all done behind the scenes. You just need to call getParameter regardless of how the form data is actually sent in.

doGet is called in response to an HTTP GET request. This happens when users click on a link, or enter a URL into the browser's address bar. It also happens with some HTML FORMs (those with METHOD="GET" specified in the FORM tag).
doPost is called in response to an HTTP POST request. This happens with some HTML FORMs (those with METHOD="POST" specified in the FORM tag).
Both methods are called by the default (superclass) implementation of service in the HttpServlet base class. You should override one or both to perform your servlet's actions.
