Populating a comb box in a web tools application

I have a simple web tools application that I've written.  It consists of two 
web pages (an input page and an output page).  The input page (index.jsp) has 
three fields.  Two are regular text fields, and one is a combo box.  I would 
like to know is there a web to pre-populate the combo box from a file on the 
iSeries.  Right now I've hard coded in the values on the attributes tab.  This 
works but, I'd rather it came from a file in case the choices ever changed.  If 
the field was on any other page other than the initial page I could populate it 
via a web interaction to a RPG program on the iSeries but, where this is the 
initial web page I can't do that.  Does anyone have any idea?  Any help would 
be greatly appreciated.
