Java xml protocol

[gamewareMaster]

I have a client/server network that sends messages as plain text but i want to change the protocol to use xml to send messages instead. At the moment i am using BufferedReader and PrintStream and use the method write to send a message. Do i use the same process to send xml and then parse it when it arrives or is there a better way?

If you know of any good articles that demonstrate how to send xml over a network please post them.

I'm not very much into xml, but I have a class that downloads the contents of
an url to the client as a StringBuffer. Maybe you can parse the xml prior to displaying
it after you have received the url contents in an applet/application.

The file name is SiteConn.zip and can be found here (swing applet)
