There are zero mechanisms in the servlet API for one servlet to gain a reference
to any other servlet instance. Therefore, you will not be able to call a method
in one servlet from a different servlet.

You should -- that's the whole idea of object oriented design. A servlet's job
is to accept a (usually) HTTP request, and create the corresponding response.
It's job is *not* to be a general purpose class library.
The simplest way to make objects available to all of your servlets is to store
them as servlet context attributes.
