Including remote content

[Lorin Kobashigawa-Bates <lo...@robot6.com>]

Is it possible to include content from a remote server?  I am looking for
something like RequestDispatcher.include(request, response) for a page that
is on an affiliated site.

I don't think that it is possible to include content from a remote server.
You can instead write a short utility that reads some content from a web
page from a remote server by use
of the URLConnection class. You can have the utility read the source of the
HTML page at Tomcat startup (in the init() method of a servlet)  and save it
in a String in the ServletContext. Then you can output that source from
every JSP page without reading from the remote server for every request.
