If you are using tomcat then you must be somewhat versed in Java?. I had responded with a suggestion about using a servlet to read your remote rdf(data file). I had used the timeline piece to do something like this in the past. Allow users to load *any* rss feed from *anywhere* into timeline. Your use case would be alot easier as you have control over your data source.
Example: *http://sitea.com/your_timeline_webapp(running in tomcat).* contains the following: timeline.html DataServlet *http://siteb.org/your_data_store_webapp(running in another disconnected location).* contains the following: your_data_page.xml http://sitea.com/your_timeline_webapp/timeline.html uses DataServlet as its data source(which is in local web-context). *tl.loadXML("DataServlet", function(xml, url) { eventSource.loadXML(xml, url);* http://sitea.com/your_timeline_webapp/DataServlet makes a url connection to http://siteb.org/your_data_store_webapp*/*your_data_page.xml and builds a StringBuffer from the inputStream. DataServlet's PrintWriter outputs data xml which is displayed in timeline.html. DataServlet code example: * StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); try { URL url = new URL(" http://siteb.org/your_data_store_webapp/your_data_page.xml";); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url .openConnection().getInputStream())); String line = null; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { buffer.append(line); } out.println(buffer.toString()); }* Hope that helps.
