Q: 

Getting an instance of a running servlet

+1  A: 

It is usual to create a special servlet for configuration/utility actions, for such cases.

The shared data is in that case placed as ServletContext attributes (via the setAttribute(..) and getAttribute(..) methods)

How would you use a ServletContext?

`getServletContext().setAttribute(..)` Check the javadoc.
