If you want a servlet to take the same action for both GET and POST request, what should you do?

Simply have doGet call doPost, or vice versa.

Simply override both the doGet() and doPost()
Here is the code
public doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException,IOException
{
// write a a code for dynamic content here
}

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

in addition to what veeru mentioned, we can override the service(HttpServletRequest , HttpServletResponse ) method as well. service method takes priority over doGet() and/or doPost().
