If you use something like
 java.io.File f = new java.io.File( "c:/tmp/myfile.xml");
 DOMBuilder db = new DOMBuilder();
 Docent doc = db.build( f);
now, an equivalent solution using URL would be
 java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL( "file://localhost/c:/tmp/myfile.xml");
 DOMBuilder db = new DOMBuilder();
 Docent doc = db.build( url);
If this works, you could try loading from the network:
 java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL( "http://www.mucho.com/myfiles/myfile.xml");
 DOMBuilder db = new DOMBuilder();
 Docent doc = db.build( url);

(Just typed this here, no javac has run on this, so please excuse
any typos)
