Yunyun:
Yes. I think you're right about JSP's include tags.
Something like this should return a stream which you can process into
your web page response:
String sUrl = "http://www.yahoo.com" ;
URL url = new URL( sUrl);
URLConnection uConn = url.openConnection();
uConn.connect();
DataInputStream stPage = new
aInputStream(
uConn.getInputStream() );
Hope this helps.
Phil

<p>Visit Yahoo by clicking here:

> String ref = request.getParameter("ref") ;

> // then test the variable...
> if ref.equals( "yahoo" ) {
> tmp = "<p>Visit Yahoo by clicking here: " +
> "<a href='http://www.yahoo.com'>Visit
>Yahoo!</a></p>" ;
> out.println( tmp ) ;
> }
> else {
> // do something else...
