I had the same problem.
Here si how I solved it:
for JSDK 2.0 and before you can share objects by accessing public method and
objects of another servlet.
using getServletContex().getServlet( name ) to get the servlet object and
after checking that the handle is not null just reference it name.method.
This method has been deprecated in version 2.0, because it doesn't offere
any information on the state of the called servlet.
Version 2.1 offeres ServletContext().setAttrubute() and getAttriubute()
methods.
You can also use HttpSession.putValue() and getValue() mechanism
