That's one way, although you don't really need any method more special than
doPost(), unless things get large enough to refactor.

You could also, for example, use the ServletRequest method getParameterMap()
and work directly off the Map of parameters:
<http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getParam
eterMap()>

This has the advantage of grabbing all the parameters in one fell swoop, and
the disadvantage of leaving all the parameter values as unvalidated Strings
packaged in the String [] values of the Map.

Well, you CAN use a bean, but a simple class will also do. Extracting
form fields from the request is not all that difficult, and it lets you
condition the information, for things like valid input, ie: all numbers
for a numeric value, and within bounds, so that  month value is within
1 and 12 inclusive.

NEVER assume that the user is kind enough to always enter valid values
