I'm not sure why you say <c:import> won't work. You can do this, which I
think is what you want:
<c:import var="xml" url="/WEB-INF/web.xml"/>
<x:parse var="web" xml="${xml}"/>
Now you can manipulate the parsed XML stored in 'web'.
If you specifically need a DOM instance (instead of an
implementation-specific representation), you can use the 'varDom' attribute
of the <x:parse> tag, instead of the 'var' attribute.
