Don't.

Servlets are not meant for this.
Instead, move your method to a bean or a plain old Java object (POJO) that can instanciated and have its methods called from any Java class; servlet or otherwise.

Actully problem is that i want to use getKookies() (C replaced with K) in the doView() method of an action class.

And since doView() method can take only two arguments RenderRequest and RenderResponse and with their objects we can�t use the getKookies()(C replaced with K) method.
getKookies() (C replaced with K)gives the error if we call it with the object of RenderRequest because it is undefined for the type RenderRequest. and getKookies() ((C replaced with K) is defined for HttpServletRequest.
Please tell me with which object I can call the getKookies() (C replaced with K)method?
