The applet works as expected: a relative URL is resolved against the document base of the applet. In order to solve your problem, suffice to specify an *absolute* URL. In the above case, it is: file:/home/hmok/chapterCERM02.xml (file:///home/hmok/chapterCERM02.xml should work too.) > I tried putting the xml file into the directory of the web application so > that the url would be correct.
