I doubt anyone wrote something like that and I would refrain from writing it
myself too.  This goes against good design practices.  You do *not* want to have
different servlets having 75% (or more) of their code almost identical.

Look at your code and factor out common things (database access, validation,
etc.).  Create common database pool for all your servlets.  Create a class which
has methods for executing queries, updates that returns a generic ResultsBean
that you can use in JSP.  And maybe a one dispatcher servlet that will handle
validation and then forward request to worker servlets.

With those things in place writing new servlets that access database will be
trivial:

- get new DatabaseAccess class
- create the query from submitted request, determine whether it's search or
update or something else
- crate new ResultsBean
- get results:  ResultsBean = DatabaseAccess.search(query)
- put that bean in some context
- forward to JSP
