CL,
You need to use the getRealPath() method in the ServletContext class in
order to get the path to the file in your web application.
String myPath =
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/files/myfile01.txt");
br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path));
In order to check to see if your path string is correct, you should check
and make sure myPath is not null. If it is null, then the path is incorrect.
This problem can also be found in the archives of the servlet-interest
mailing list.
Regards,
Richard
