Had a similar problem. This code seems to work in a servlet (more comment
after):
------------------
PrintWriter out = null;
ServletContext servletContext = getServletContext();
try
{
out = response.getWriter();
}
catch ( IOException ioe)
{
return;
}
InputStream inStream = servletContext.getResourceAsStream( "/blotto"
);
BufferedReader in
= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( inStream ) );
try
{
for(String line = ""; (line = in.readLine()) != null; )
{
out.print(line);
out.flush();
}
}
catch ( IOException ioe ) {}
-------------------
The text file 'blotto' is in directory <context>. That is, the name of your
app, the directory below webapps but above WEB-INF.
