[Ganglia-general] listening to port 8649

[#TEERNA CHOUDHURY#]

hi
 
I am new to ganglia. 
I need to know if i could possibly write a java program that can listen to port 
8649 and port 8651. I need to read the xml data to check status of the various 
hosts. 
How is this possible?
 
telnet localhost 8649 is used to get the xml data to print on screen. instead i 
need the data to be available to the java program
 
thanks.
