Here's the picture you painted in the original email and I based my 
answer on:

1. You have a jsp file on a tomcat server which needs to read 
information from a remote system
2. The system containing the remote file has a webserver you could put 
the file in.

The c:import tag is a java standard tag library (JSTL) tag used to 
import data form locations outside the jsp.  In this case, I'm saying 
you could request the file from the remote webserver.  Google is your 
friend if you'd like more information.

If I've misunderstood your environment, please provide a *lot* more 
detail -- specifically more information regarding the system the remote 
file reside's on (does it have a web server?).
