Using Servlets to Parse XML

[bytes.bit]

I would like to create a servlet, which when accessed, will retrieve an
XML file, remotely over the Internet, and parse it to the browser's
screen.

Can anyone point to example code that will help me along?

Thanks.

You can use XSLT to transform the XML in the servlet and post the
output to the response. Alternatively, you can push the XML as-is to
the browser, and have the browser transform it using an XSL hosted on
the server. You can use the xml directive to point to the xsl like
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="your_stylesheet.xsl"?>. However,
I am not sure if all browsers support this - all the new ones do for
sure.

Hope this helps.
