I know this is going to be easy. But it is driving me nuts. Can someone please tell me how to use this code correctly. I need to include an "outside resource" in my web app. Outside my web app, and container. This is incorrect, I know, I am just using it as an example.

I want to do something like this
Code:
   <jsp:include page="[URL unfurl="true"]Http://www.google.com/search">[/URL]
        <jsp:param name="q" value="PARAM+JAVA+%22outside+resources%22" />
        <jsp:param name="hl" value="en" />
        <jsp:param name="start" value="40" />
        <jsp:param name="sa" value="N" />
    </jsp:include>

but of course this is treated as a relative path to my web app. Is there a way to do this? PS I would also like to cache the results and parse them to pull out the data I want

thanks

any decently secured webserver won't allow you to access anything outside the context root of your web application.
 
Thanks for the response,
I have actually already found a solution. At
With just a little modification I was able to get what I needed. Thanks anyway
