Worst come to worse, you can use java.net.HttpURLConnection to
communicate to the other servlet. This approach will still work
when you move your other servlet to another web server/servlet
engine. Beware of the overhead though. Take a look on how
URLConnection is used in either O'Reilly Networking book or
Hunter's servlet book.
