Read a remote XML file or copy it to locale (using Java)?

[tekra]

My question is about reading a remote XML file by using Java.My files are stored in one device that runs Windows CE. I should access to few of these devices several times per day.Which solution is more efficient considering network constraints, stablishment of a TCP session and data loss: to open and read the file remotelly or get a copy locally to the server and process it then?Thank you very much.
