To read it as text you can use:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

public class Main {

    /** Creates a new instance of Main */
    public Main() {
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            URLConnection conn = java.net.URI.create("http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=hollywood&maxRows=1").toURL().openConnection();
            while (!conn.getDoInput());
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
            while (reader.ready()) {
                System.out.println(reader.readLine());
            }
        } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger("global").log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger("global").log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }
}

Or this, to get XML itself:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory;
import javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException;
import javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader;

public class Main {

    /** Creates a new instance of Main */
    public Main() {
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            java.net.URLConnection conn = java.net.URI.create("http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=hollywood&maxRows=1").toURL().openConnection();
            while (!conn.getDoInput());
            XMLStreamReader xmlReader = XMLInputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamReader(new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream())));
        } catch (XMLStreamException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger("global").log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger("global").log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }
}

hmmmmmmmmmm, it seems to freeze every once in a while, any theories on why? How can I make it stop when about 5-6 seconds has passed by? It shouldnt take more than 3 seconds to retrieve the xml. Thanks for your help
