It makes the post a bit easier to read if you quote the error message in the text of your message as well as the subject line.

servlet. It's just a very simple servlet, inheriting
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet. I can finally reach the servlet, but
am getting this error about the GET method, which is odd, because my
servlet uses doPost and NOT doGet!

Actually, your servlet most emphatically does use doGet(), any time it receives a GET message. You don't control that, because it's up to the client whether it sends a GET or a POST.

You don't provide a doGet() method. That means you are inheriting the implementation of doGet() from HttpServlet.
