is doPost() secure?

Is it advisable to send sensitive parameters via post method and process them in dopost() method..I know get is vulnerable and it has some size limitations..is that the case in post method?

Sounds like you should have a look at SSL and the HTTPS protocol.~

depends how sensitive they are. POST is more secure than GET as the parameters are not embedded in the URL, but that's not to say they're not there. it's not a 'secure' alternative, as such. think of http GET as a postcard, and POST as a letter in an envelope. that's the difference in terms of security. if you're concerned about security, look into https
