Robin,

Thanks for your response.  I just had one more question that I was
wondering if you can help me.

My servlet is outputting an XML tree as a big XML string.  Specifically, it
will return a string containing the following:
          <Category>
                <Name>...</Name>
                <Description>...</Description>
         </Category>
          <Category>
                 <Name>...</Name>
                 <Description>...</Description>
          </Category>
           ....
I would like to embed the above XML tree in my XSP page where I called the
servlet.

Is there a way I can convert the XML string to XML node in my XSP page
after getting it from my servlet?
I am assuming another way would be to have my servlet dump XML node and not
string. If so, are there some documentation or sample codes
on how to create and build the above node in my servlet?  Also, if my
servlet output the XML node,  then after calling
               Object content = new URL
("http://...../myservlet:).getContent()
in my XSP page,
can I treat the content as a node and simply call
               xspCurrentNode.appendChild(document.importNode(node, true));
in my XSP page.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Below is my XSP page and my servlet.
