Display from another website

Question

Hello all,
I need to display a page from another website in my jsp. I'm using Sitemesh to build the header, footer and layout of the page, but I need to bring a page from another website to display in the body. I have searched the internet and haven't found any good posts/articles/tutorials/ect. on the subject. Could someone please point me in the right directions.
Thanks,

Use a tool that gets data from a URL then sets a JSTL tag. You can use the tag then to place the new content. Please only do this if the site belongs to you. This will be frowned at if not.
Simple class to get a URL
package uk.co.classfinance.curl;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.net.URLEncoder;
