Howdy,
This is a tomcat-user, not tomcat-dev question, so please continue this
discussion on that list if you wish.

The answer is fairly easy: you can invoke whatever you want by
overriding the service method of a servlet.  The default implementation
looks at the HTTP method, e.g. GET, and invokes the corresponding
service method, e.g. doGet.  You would override service() to invoke
whatever method you wanted based on the contents of the request/request
headers.
