jsp

    pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

</html>


Servlet


package esempio2;
import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;

public class Nome extends HttpServlet {
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException, ServletException{

        String name=request.getParameter("username");
        request.setAttribute("nome", name);

        RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("index.jsp");
        view.forward(request, response);
    }
}

WEB.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>nome</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>esempio2.Nome</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>nome</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/tester.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

where is your form? From the exception "HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL" it's clear that form is requesting GET method whereas you haven't defined any GET method in servlet. by default form's method is GET. you have to set it explicitly to POST.

Try add the doGet() method !

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,ServletException{
  //your code here
}

Try to add something like this

<input type="text" name="nome">

So try to add a method which wrap doGet and doPost, something like this :

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException, ServletException{
        processRequest(request,response);
    }

    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException, ServletException{
        processRequest(request,response);
    }

    public void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException, ServletException{
        String nome = "PutYourNameHere";
        request.setAttribute("nome",nome);

        RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("index.jsp");
        view.forward(request, response);
    }

so the right solution is to change the method to POST in form submission itself. — Braj, Nov 12 '15 at 10:09

It looks like your form method is not correct
