public class Travel

extends HttpServlet

Top-level travel-processing servlet. This servlet sets up the customer data as a bean, then forwards the request to the airline booking page, the rental car reservation page, the hotel page, the existing account modification page, or the new account page.

doPost

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
                   HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException,
                   IOException

Since password is being sent, use POST only. However, the use of POST means that you cannot forward the request to a static HTML page, since the forwarded request uses the same request method as the original one, and static pages cannot handle POST. Solution: have the "static" page be a JSP file that contains HTML only. That's what accounts.jsp is. The other JSP files really need to be dynamically generated, since they make use of the customer data.
