Servlets running together in the same server communicate with each other in several ways. The three major reasons to use interservlet communication are: a) Direct servlet manipulation – allows to gain access to the other currently loaded servlets and perform certain tasks (through the ServletContext object) b) Servlet reuse – allows the servlet to reuse the public methods of another servlet. c) Servlet collaboration – requires to communicate with each other by sharing specific information (through method invocation)
