Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number. The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 405 Method Not Allowed response status code indicates that the request method is known by the server but is not supported by the target resource. The server MUST generate an Allow header field in a 405 response containing a list of the target resource's currently supported methods.

The 405 Method Not Allowed error occurs when the web server is configured in a way that does not allow you to perform a specific action for a particular URL. It’s an HTTP response status code that indicates that the request method is known by the server but is not supported by the target resource.

Hi mate's
I got a error as 'HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL' .. i shuffled by changing the methods between get and post but both yielded the same error. I saw lot of blogs and tried to make changes as per the people comments but ended up with the same result. Kindly, help me out. I have just pasted the code below.
Welcome.html

You'll likely find the info you need here. Yes, the error code is different, but the causes are similar.
Hint: Packages are important, and so is letter-case.
btw, 'servlet' is a poor name choice for a servlet. Use a descriptive name that tells you something about what the servlet does, even if it's just '/MyHelloWorldServlet'.

Change the Welcome.html like this
</head>
<body>
<form action='servlet' method='post'>
User Name:<input type='text' name='uname'>
<input type='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Change the web.xml file
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>Welcome.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Servlet.java.Servlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
It will work

The parameters for the doPost method (and all other service methods) are HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse. You have them reversed.

public void doGet(HttpServletResponse res, HttpServletRequest req) throws ServletException, IOException
{
doPost(req,res);
}

405 Status Code

I doubt that that change alone solved anything. I advise to familiarize yourself with the @Override annotation, and use that whenever you think you're overriding a method. it's a real time saver.
Besides, treating GET and POST interchangeably violates the HTTP specification, and you may well run into problems.
And lastly, you need to get into the habit of putting your classes into packages. It won't be long until you'll run into trouble if you don't.
