Yes, that would be exactly what I need!
I mostly use libraries like  http://echo.nextapp.com/ Echo  or 
http://wicket.apache.org/ Wicket  so anyhow I don't create servlet classes
directly. Instead, I just look up my beans using JNDI from my UI components
and then the beans do all the application logic.
