When you create a FileReader, and the file has no path defined, it is
searched in the working directory.
In Tomcat, this working directory is not changed in any point, so when
your object tries to create the reader, it searches the file in the
directory where you started Tomcat from (generally $TOMCAT_HOME/bin).
For getting your file, use something like:
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("error.txt");
input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
This way, the ClassLoader will search the file in the same directory than your class.
