Servlet handling multiple post requests

Question

I have one Servlet name EditEvent and one JSP which contains two forms. One for adding new event, The other one is for removing an event.

Is it considered as good p

Answer 1

For handling multiple requests by same servlet you have to make a contract to have a request parameter like 'ACTION'. Then in your forms add this as hidden field with values like 'ADD' and 'REMOVE'. So, in doPost() you can check this parameter value and can invoke respective handling methods in same servlet.

class YourServlet extends HttpServlet{

      public void doPost(HttpReq req, HttpResp resp){
               String action = reg.getParameter('ACTION');
               if('ADD'.equals(action)){
                   addEvent();
               }
               if('REMOVE'.equals(action)){
                   removeEvent()
               } else {
                   defaultAction();
               }
      }

}
