Here is a sample code. You will have the answer in recvbuff.

<%@page import="java.io.*" %> <%@page import="java.net.*" %> <% String recv; String recvbuff; URL jsonpage = new URL("http://www.yoursite.com/jsonresponse"); URLConnection urlcon = jsonpage.openConnection(); BufferedReader buffread = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlcon.getInputStream())); while ((recv = buffread.readLine()) != null) recvbuff += recv; buffread.close(); System.out.println(recvbuff); %>
