Then you're not doing it the way I have described. I have been battling with this for ages. Every time I want to import dynamically generated xml document it doesn't work. The URL gets mangled by the import tag.
I can use the request parameters to form a full URL but that doesn't work for a secure app because the credentials aren't shared. Create a Jersey web service and use the tags as I have described. Just doesn't work at all. I have resorted to writing my own tag. Hey ho.
