I'm not sure this is a Struts question.
If you want to request data (from a remote URL) within your Java code for use in some other way (like scrape it then massage it into whatever you need) you'd need to use any of several HTTP client libraries.
I'm not a JavaRanch person but I suspect someone will tell you that you'll need to change your username as per the
JavaRanch username policy.
