Webfiles in JAVA(html, xml, etc.)

[Aeren]

Hi everyone!

I would like to know if it's possible(and how it is) to download a webpage completly with Java(like this thread you're reading now ) then show it in a window. I've read the big book of Java but all i found was:
URLConnection openConnection(URL)
parseURL(URL, String, int, int)
toExternalForm(URL)

Anyone knows more about this?

Thanks!

Checkout the URL class

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URL.html#openStream()

One way of doing it:

Url url = new Url("http://hardforum.com");
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());

1. What i wanted to know if i can download it completly(including pictures for example).
2. If i have the files, how can i print it out? I thought of opening a Window/Canvas/Frame/whatever, and put it in. Is that possible, if yes, how?

If swing is a possibility, look into

JEditorPane

  JEditorPane htmlPane = new JEditorPane("http://hardocp.com");
  htmlPane.setEditable(false);
  window.add(new JScrollPane(htmlPane));

Cool, that takes care of the view. But how can i download the whole page(functions doesn't interest me, but pictures would be important for showing)?
What i mean like when i'm downloading a page with IE using "save as". It saves other files as well not onlz the htm.

You will need to parse the html to pull out all the other references (for images you'd look for an img tag then get the src attribute).

But how exactly does it work? I hate to use functions if i don't know what they do.
