Servlet within a list within a jsp file

Is it possible to link a servlet within a list within a .jsp file ?

<form>
<ul id="nav">
    <li class="current"><a href="HomeClientServlet">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="TransactionsServlet">Transactions</a></li>
    <li><a href="StartTransferServlet">Transfer</a></li>
</ul>
</form>

The upper code wont work and im not sure how to do this.

*NOTE - The servlet needs to run doPost and not doGet.

As Jigar Joshi said I have tried to do this:

It didnt work and then i tried doing this instead:

    <form>
    <ul id="nav">
        <li class="current"><a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/HomeClientServlet">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/TransactionsServlet">Transactions</a></li>
        <li><a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/StartTransferServlet">Transfer</a></li>
    </ul>
</form>

This one is invalid

<form>
<ul id="nav">
    <li class="current"><form action="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/HomeClientServlet" method="POST"><input type="submit">Home</form></li>
</ul></form>

You can do something like 



    < form method="post" action="<%=application.getContextPath()%>/Controller">
    < ul>
    < li> < a href="javascript:callController()"> Controller < /a> < /li>
    < /ul>

And in the script part

function callController()
{
   ------- whatever be you want to do....
}

clicking on valid anchor by default makes a GET request, if you want to make a POST instead then either write javascript to handle on click and make POST or place a tiny form instead of anchor

replace anchor tag with something like below

<form action="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/TransactionsServlet" method="POST">
  <input type="SUBMIT">
</form>
