You have a couple of options:
1.
make an HttpURLConnection object and use it to connect to Apache via the
localhost address. You'll get back the complete http response which you'd
then have to parse etc.
2.
get a loaded instance of the servlet you want to pass the info to using
ServletContext.getServletContext. You can then call any of the public
methods of the servlet. Watch out for thread safe behaviour. - check the
source. If the server hasn't yet loaded the servlet you want then force it
to load by using HttpURLConnection. Discard the response then try to get it
from getServletContext again.
