Hello-

Is it possible to read HTML or text files in from a servlet?  To me, it
seems a servlet is an app and shouldn't have the applet limitations.
I've got all the routines in for doing it, but the servlet can never
find the file (header.txt in this case).  It's probably a classpath
issue, but I've placed the file a copy in all classpath locations making
sure it's case sensitive.  for example:

  String getHTMLTextFile(String sFile)
    throws IOException, FileNotFoundException {
    try {
    String s = "";
    String sOut = "";
    FileInputStream inputFile = new FileInputStream("header.txt");
    BufferedInputStream bufferedFile = new BufferedInputStream(
inputFile );
    AsciiInputStream lineOut = new AsciiInputStream( bufferedFile );
    while (true) {
      s = lineOut.readLine();
      if (s != null) {
        sOut = sOut + s;
       }
      else {
        inputFile.close();
        break;
        }
      }
      return sOut;
    }
  catch (IOException IOex) {
    return IOex.toString();
    }
  }


Works fine in apps, but can never find the file no matter where I put it
in my server or servlet class paths.  What gives?
