I keep getting this error when I am using Netbeans and the internet.
"HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL"
I don't know just what is going on here, and I will be happy if someone here could help me out. Here is what I got down. It goes like this.
package servlets;
import business.*;
import business.User;
import data.*;
import data.UserIO;

I do not know what I could have possibly wrote down wrong here. Can anyone help me out, here, give some pointers on what to do?
