I think that example may only work for JSDK >= 2.1
Using JSDK 2.0 here is what I do...
servletobj s = (servletobj)getServletContext().getServlet("servletobj");
String foo = s.someMethod().toString();
It's too bad getServlet() was deprecated, because the technique described
below seems alot more clunky.

Subject: Re: How can i call a servlet method from another servlet
To call a servlet from another servlet, you need to get a reference to the
servlet that you want to call by using the ServletContext. The servlet that
you want to call from other servlets must put a reference to itself in the
servlet context. Use getAttribute() and getAttribute() methods to accomplish
this. This is usually done in the init() method of the callable servlet:
public void init(ServletConfig cfg) throws ServletException
{
super.init(cfg);
// Add this servlet to the context
getServletContext().setAttribute("callableServlet", this);
}
Then put this in the calling servlet:
CallableServlet cs =
(CallableServlet)getServletContext().getAttribute("callableServlet");
Now you can use the reference "cs" to invoke methods in the callable
servlet.
