Servlet reading a file...

Hello,

How do I get a servlet to read a file? I need to read a .txt file and store its contents in a String variable. However, no matter where I put the .txt file, the servlet never seems to find it.

Thanks

Here's the class to use:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/a...FileReader.html

I'd suggest wrapping it in a BufferedReader, like

Code:

BufferedReader in  = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("foo.in"));

then you can use the readLine method from BufferedReader.

Servlets read files just as any other Java application does. You will need to import the java.io.* package.
