Well, you certainly can not use the redirect or the dispatcher. forward() method
because this would result in another request to the server, which would be
intercepted by your servlet and go on forever. So, you need to retrieve the data
some way other than http. If you have static content, you could simply create a
method that uses FileReader, read the file in then write it to the response. If
you have a database or content management system, then you need to get content
throught an api or jdbc using sql.
