Step 1 - learn how to use the Java standard library to handle XML documents:
a. parsing to a DOM - document object model
b. extracting desired element data from the DOM

@Arun Kumarr I'm sorry i send a changing name request next time you will see my real name
@ William Brogden thanks for your help but i didn't goes well i couldn't get the xml content produced from the Rest service.
if it was an xml file that would be easy but from a URL i think that it needs a sort of XMLHTTPrequest or something like that , i have to consume the service i hope it's clear .
you will find a snapshot in the attachement

Yes. You can consume the xml using the xmlhttp object and do a dom search and get the desired element as William mentioned.
One other thing, I would like you to place a request at the server side team to qualify the element, "com.pmease.quickbuild.model.Configuration" with a more meaningful element name like, "Configuration".
