Http connection check

Question

a simple program:
import java.io.IOException;
import org.cyberneko.html.parsers.DOMParser;
import org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
public class Web
    public static void main(String [] args)
        DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
        try {
            parser.parse("http://www.something.com");
            DocumentImpl doc = (DocumentImpl)parser.getDocument();
            System.out.println(doc);
        } catch (SAXException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
}when i try to run it, i get [#document: null] in the console, is there any way to check whether the DOMreader is connecting to the website? it should return a value of "This is something".
i've tried the HTMLParser project but for longer websites it gave me tags that wern't in the source code! can anyone recomend a reliable and simple HTML parser where i dont have to extend SAX classes, etc to get it to work? thanks
Richard.
