Please anyone give me a clear understanding of why web service with post request cannot be run by putting the url in the browser unlike get method. I tried running the url in the browser for post method,but it didn't display anything.But when i tried it on SoapUI, I got my desired result. Any help would be appreciable.

It is because of the difference in a GET and a POST request. POST requests do not use the url to send data. An easy example to understand why this is the case would be a login. You would certainly not want to send your login password in the url.

If you are using Spring, try @RequestParam. If you are using servlets, maybe these answers can help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14525982/getting-request-payload-from-post-request-in-java-servlet?rq=1 – Absent Sep 20 '17 at 05:48
