Hi Cyril,
You can use Generic Servlets in the same way that you use servers, i.e. to
provide information on receipt of a request, or you can use them to provide
information to other HTTP Servlets who can call it's public methods.
There is a simple example of this use in the Java Tutorial tutorial on
servlets. The tutorial uses a bookstore example and one of the Servlets
(BookDBServlet) is a generic servlet.
