I understand very well how to read an input file and output the carbon copy
using response.getOutputStream().println(new String(uploadItem.get()));
where upload is FileItem uploadItem = getFileItem(request);. Now I want to do
something a little different. Reading an input file and output a file based
upon the contents of the input file which uses the content of the input file to
write the output file. The method private getStringOutput(String input)
takes an input, i.e. the contents of the input file and produce an output file
called "output.txt" and it returns return outputFileName which is "output.txt".
Now my question is response.getOutputStream().println("output.txt");
outputing just the filename or its contents. I want to ouput the contents of the
output.txt, let me know how to do that?
Your attention to this matter is highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
