Access xml from servlet

[Adam Teg]

Can anyone tell me or point me in the direction on how to access an xml file that is on the webb from my servlet. After I get the xml, I will create a file in the local directory.

Thanks

Could you be more specific about "on the webb [sic]"?

Well if you want to read the xml file from java more precisely want to map xml file to java object, then you need certain parsers like dom or sax parser. You can try dom4j or digester for that.

//read the file
 
// Set the headers.
res.setContentType("application/x-download");
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
 
// Send the file.
OutputStream out = res.getOutputStream(  );
writeFileToOutput(filename, out);
