Great ideas! Thank you both very for your replies. I'm using the: _decorator
page template for my site and unfortunately it seems to not interpret any JSTL tags. It just outputs the <c:import> literally when I put it into my _decorator, that is why I was thinking I might have to create my own function. I had another thought and that maybe using AJAX and the HttpRequest object might do what I want so the client actually makes the request. I'll continue to investigate all of the options. Thanks again for your pointers. I really appreciate you taking the time to help out a "Roller newbie" like myself.
