Java RTSP get contents

Question

Can I download the contents from an RTSP url in java? Just like we can get contents of an HTTP url as an InputStream...

Thanks Chris

Java uses "protocol handlers" to determine how to retrieve the resource identified by a URL. It's not limited just to the HTTP/HTTPS.

Apparently the Java Media Framework API can access RTSP resources. I don't know if it installs a protocol handler for RTSP or if it uses some different strategy. Google for Java Media Framework RTSP for all the details.
