when i [sic] run my servlet,browser display this message-

HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL

i [sic] have given proper url to this servlet through web.xml also.

What happens if you eliminate the 'onClick' from the input button?

Also, I am pretty sure you should not use "<c:url>" in the form
'action' attribute, but just the servlet reference:

<form action="/catalog/registerUser" method="post">

I realize you're trying to prevent issues if cookies are disabled, but
I don't think that consideration applies to the 'action' attribute.
You can tell that I'm not certain about this, so try it and report
what happens.

There are several petty issues with your code as well, not relevant to
your question nor likely to cause you serious trouble in this
particular case, but they represent bad habits such as failure to
enclose 'if' clauses in curly braces.

Really good example you posted, btw. Nicely complete.
