Be really careful with this, though--this sort of servlet-to-servlet
communication is being discouraged, especially when you consider that the
"other" servlet may (due to distribution, clustering, or load-balancing
reasons) not be in the same JVM you are. Most of the servlet literature I've
seen recommends instead doing forwad() or redirect() calls, in place of
making a call on the Servlet directly.
If you *really* want this sort of communication between Servlets, perhaps
look at RMI, CORBA, or even JSDT. (getServlet(), if I'm not mistaken, was
deprecated back in 2.0 or 2.1, but I haven't looked in a long time.)
