My first thought would be to suggest really thinking about why you
(he) are wanting to do this and whether it's possible to modify the
design of the system such that it's not necessary to directly call the
methods of another servlet. For example, this is not a clean design,
and suggests that perhaps some methods should be moved out of the
servlet and into a separate "third party" non-servlet class. One way
to think about this is that servlets are just a web interface to an
application, not the application itself.
