HOWTO invoke a method on another Servlet from my Servlet?

By using " InterServlet Communication" we will achive it.

Example:-

ServletContext sc = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
Enumeration  servletNames = sc.getServletNames(); //will return the available servlet names
MyServlet myServlet = (MyServlet)sc.getServlet("servletName "); //get the MyServlet instance from ServletContext
String name = myServlet.getNames(); //execute the public method.

Hmmm, interesting.  I was reading that the method 'getServletNames()' is deprecated.  It wont be along much longer.  So, I would guess in such a situation the use of reflection would work.  But it is an interesting problem.

interservlet communication was deprecated and will be (has been?) removed in later versions because of security reasons.

The best way to achieve it is by having the servlets call one another over HTTP, and having the service method throw back the response based on the parameters passed (passing in the function to be called as a parameter, and parameters to it as other parameters for example).
