Servlet1 doesn't have to output anything to the standard PrintWriter in your
case. You could conditionally output to a buffer and then handle this buffer
to servlet2. Maybe some custom object inheriting from Response passed as
Request attribute... I assume that you ALSO want servlet1 to be able to
directly output XML to clients... don't you?
A better solution would be to have an independent component that could be
called from servlet1 and servlet2.
