A simple problem

Question

HI,
I am very new to jsp.
I have been playing around with JSP include: <jsp:include page ...
I am just wondering how I can include a html page that is outside of the server?
E.g. <jsp:include page="http://www.example.com/top.html" />
Could somebody please help me!

Thanks, that led me in the right direction.
For anybody out there looking to do the same thing, you will need to have a jsp file that looks like this:
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/io-1.0" prefix="io" %>
<io:http url="http://www.example.com/head.html" action="GET"/>
<io:http url="http://www.example.com/top.html" action="GET"/>
You just need "<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/io-1.0" prefix="io" %>" at the top of the page and then you can use as many "<io:http url="http://www.example.com/head.html" action="GET"/>" as you require for different elements you can also format different bits within the page if you like, I even added a form.
i.e. you can do this:
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/io-1.0" prefix="io" %>
<io:http url="http://www.example.com/head.html" action="GET"/>
<div id="top">
<io:http url="http://www.example.com/top.html" action="GET"/>
</div>
Works great!
