                    HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException{

 //Set a variable or invoke the POST specific logic
 handleRequest(request, response);

}


public void handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
                    HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException{

 //Do stuff with the request

}
