Looks like it's converting inStr to XML, doing a quasi-XPath query to pull out the text of the first PRE tag within the BODY tag, and then splitting it into a Java array based on space characters. The regex used for the .split() call is kind of silly, just " +" would have been sufficient. I don't actually know anything about the XMLPassing class, so I could be off base.
