mukhar thanks for your reply.
i tried your code on a windows 95 machine with servletrunner utility it
worked . but when i tried the same on javawebserver it says that it is not
able to locate the file. i put it in public_html which is my document root
directory. i wanted to use this code to return a menu (html page) after
checking the user name and password in the servlet which is called by the
action performed in the login page. when i generated the menu dynamically
from servlet it is working. you also told about sending redirect to static
file's Url please elaborate this a bit.
thanks in advance

Because a static html file is just a file of text, you can't transfer
control to
it. You just need to change your mindset: you're trying to open a file and
send
the contents of that file to the client. Here's a quick and dirty way:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("aFileName");
File file = new File("aFileName");
int buffer_size = file.length();
char[] c = new char[buffer_size];
br.read(c, 0, buffer_size);
String contents = new String(c);
br.close();
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(response.getOutputStream());
out.print(contents);
out.close();
Since it's a static file, you could also send a redirect to the static
file's
URL.
