I would like to request and get hml or xml code of the page on another
server in my Java servlet. Is this possible and how can it be done?
Thanks.

Look at java.net.HttpURLConnection. You can use it to get the html or
xml as an InputStream.

If you want to get fancy, take a look at
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/

This is a client library that gives you a lot more power to manage http
communications.
