How to read and parse a remote XML file with Java

Question

Hi.
Using J2SE v1.4.2, I'd like to read and parse a remote file:
http://foo.com/file.xml
Is it possible with Java? I'd be extremely grateful if someone could provide me any webpage showing a very simple code.
Thank you very much.

How about the following?
     import java.io.InputStream;
     import java.net.URL;
     import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
     import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
     import org.w3c.dom.Document;
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
          URL url = new URL("http://foo.com/file.xml");
          InputStream inputStream = url.openStream();
          Document document = db.parse(inputStream);
          inputStream.close();
