If your question is, "How do I do authentication?" the answer is:
Check out Jason Hunter's book:
http://www.servlets.com/jsp/buy.html
or this URL:
http://novocode.de/doc/servlet-essentials/chapter4b.html#4_5
If your question is, "Once I get a user name, how do I get the right file?"
the answer is:
StringBuffer filename = new StringBuffer();
filename.append( request.getRemoteUser() );
filename.append( ".txt" );
File file = new File( "/path/to/data/files/", filename.toString() );
/* [extract data from file] */
/* [return html] */
