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.
