The above is *close* to what you want to do. Yes, it is perfectly legal. The
only issue is that you are getting yourself into a situation where you are
becoming a servlet engine yourself. There is more to a servlet than a
doGet() method. You have things like the init() and destory() methods to
also worry about. It is better to define your own interface and then call
the methods in that interface instead.
I suggest that you take a look at the methodology behind Turbine. It is a
well thought out solution to what you are doing. We are kind of billing it
as the servlet version of a MFC in that we have a methodology of doing
things like what you want to do as well as things like Global cache objects,
object persistence layer (for jdbc), a connection pool, parameter parsing,
and much much more..
