I am having trouble POSTing to my java HTTPServlet. I am getting "HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL" from my tomcat server". When I debug the servlet the login method is never called. I think it's a url mapping issue within tomcat...

web.xml

<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>faxcom</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/faxcom/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
