Yes, certainly you can put a servlet in a JAR... after all, Struts is
based on a servlet, and you generally just drop the Struts JAR into your
webapp... accessing a servlet via AJAX is, in simplest terms, just a
plain old HTTP request like any non-AJAX request, so yes, you can do
that too.
If your servlet is in a JAR, and that JAR is in the classpath, then all
you need to do is put the appropriate entries in web.xml and your off to
the races... if you want to call it via AJAX, that works just fine too,
if you just pass simple name/value pair parameters.
Does that answer your question, or did I misunderstand?

I have some support servlets that I want to share via a common library.
To this point Ive only been putting session beans in there. Its easy to
point to those using '<jsp:usebean' tags and entries in 'web.xml'. Can I
do something similar to a servlet such that I can get to it via an
XMLHttpRequest object?
