DocumentBuilder timeout - parse(url)

Question

Is there anyway to configure a timeout on parsing from a url with DocumentBuilder?
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
final DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
final DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = docBuilder.parse(url);I can't seem to find a reference anywhere

I can't seem to find a reference anywhereI think it is not the job of DocumentBuilder, DocumentBuilder is capable of parsing number of sources for building Document.
Try other way with parsing InputStream. Check it out below:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
try
     URL url = new URL (strURL);     // Getting URL to invoke
     HttpURLConnection urlCon = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection ();     // Opening connection with the URL specified
     urlCon.setReadTimeout (1000);     // Set Read Time out in milliseconds, Setting 1 second as read timeout
     urlCon.connect ();     //Connecting
     InputStream iStream = urlCon.getInputStream ();     //Opening InputStream to Read
     DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();     //Building Document Builder Factory
     DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();     // Building Document Builder
     doc = builder.parse(iStream);     // Parsing InputStream
} catch (Exception ex) {
     // TODO: Exception Handling
Note: Perform proper Exception Handling.
