Don't servlets get instantiated and destroyed at the whims of the container, and usually in response to a client request? That doesn't seem to be a very suitable arrangement for a zookeeper server's lifecycle management, to me.
It sounds to me like you are trying to repurpose a web container for cluster management. I think there might be better container solutions for that purpose, though.
