Hi, You can write two socket classes for the two m/cs, one for your m/c and the other for the m/c where your xml is lying. then call the server socket at the remote m/c (which has to be deployed in the remote m/c). in the server socket you can write code to get the content of that xml locally and write to the outputstream of the socket. This way you get the xml contents. similarly you can do the same for the database update. regards, partha
