title: Configure tomcat to accept post request
body: <p>How can I configure tomcat so when a post request is made the request parameters are outputted to a jsp file? Do I need a servlet which forwards to a jsp or can this be handled within a jsp file ?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my method which sends the post request to the tomcat server - </p>
  
  <pre><code> public void sendContentUsingPost() throws IOException {
  
          HttpConnection httpConn = null;
            String url = "http://LOCALHOST:8080/services/getdata";
       //   InputStream is = null;
          OutputStream os = null;
  
          try {
            // Open an HTTP Connection object
            httpConn = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
            // Setup HTTP Request to POST
            httpConn.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
  
            httpConn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent",
              "Profile/MIDP-1.0 Confirguration/CLDC-1.0");
            httpConn.setRequestProperty("Accept_Language","en-US");
            //Content-Type is must to pass parameters in POST Request
            httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  
  
            // This function retrieves the information of this connection
            getConnectionInformation(httpConn);
  
                    String params;
            params = "?id=test&amp;data=testdata";
                        System.out.println("Writing "+params);
            //            httpConn.setRequestProperty( "Content-Length", String.valueOf(params.length()));
  
            os = httpConn.openOutputStream();
  
            os.write(params.getBytes());
  
   } finally {
            if(os != null)
              os.close();
        if(httpConn != null)
              httpConn.close();
      }
  
          }
