Yep, but you can only call servlets that are registered as Spring-beans, using 
configuration file
like this[1]:
        <bean id="org.apache.cocoon.servletservice.demo1.servlet"
class="org.apache.cocoon.servletservice.demo1.DemoServlet">
        <servlet:context mount-path="/test1">
                <servlet:init-params>
                                <entry key="foo" value="baz"/>
                        </servlet:init-params>
                        <servlet:connections>
                                <entry key="demo2" 
value-ref="org.apache.cocoon.servletservice.demo2.servlet"/>
                        </servlet:connections>
                </servlet:context>
        </bean>

In most cases it's not a big problem to configure servlets that way.

Actually, ServletServiceGenerator does something more than just fetching data 
from other servlets
(it's a job of servlet source). Take a look at this example[2]:

      <!-- This is a test of basic servlet services functionality
           servletService generator makes a HTTP POST request on 
servlet:test2:/basic-service.
           Generator posts content of test.xml file and returns to the pipeline 
result of service call.
      -->
      <map:match pattern="test5">
        <map:generate type="servletService" src="test.xml">
          <map:parameter name="service" 
value="servlet:test2:/basic-service?caller=generator"/>
        </map:generate>
        <map:serialize type="xml"/>
      </map:match>

The comment above the match explains what happens quite well. The idea is to 
fetch data that is
based on POSTed data. This way servlet:test2:/basic-service can be viewed as 
pipeline *fragment*
looking even implementation[2] looks like this:
      <!-- This basic service pipeline takes POSTed XML and applays simple 
transformation on it -->
      <map:match pattern="basic-service">
        <map:generate src="service-consumer:"/>
        <map:transform src="service-test.xsl">
          <map:parameter name="caller" value="{request-param:caller}"/>
        </map:transform>
        <map:serialize type="xml"/>
      </map:match>

> Will my sitemap look like this?

>     <map:serialize type="xml"/>
>   </map:match>       
> </map:pipeline>

I would say it would look like this:
<map:pipeline>
  <map:match pattern="test">
    <map:generate src="servlet:axis:/anySoapRequest" type="file"/>
    <map:serialize type="xml"/>
  </map:match>
</map:pipeline>

> Thanks for your help,

I suggest to take a closer look at cocoon-servlet-service-sample module that 
contains some simple
demos. Of course they are not ideal but at least they present the most 
important features of Servlet
Service Framework.

I hope that helps a little.
