Getting an InputStream from hwere to read the URL contents can be as easy as

InputStream is = (InputStream) new URL("...").getContent()

An example of how to use the SAX API to parse XML can be found here. Note that where it uses "System.in" you would use the InputStream you obtained from the line of code above.
