Does anyone know how to get an Applet on a Web server to read a text file
which resides on the same server in the same directory as the Applet and
calling HTML page?  I have tried something like the simplified method below,
but get a security exception.  I think it thinks I'm trying to read the file
from the client machine.

 public void loadInhabitants()
 {
      String strFilename ="D:\\tomcat\\Inhabitants\\Report.txt";
      try
      {
           BufferedReader brIn = new BufferedReader(new
FileReader(strFilename));
           String strLine;
           while ((strLine = brIn.readLine()) != null)
                System.out.println(strLine);
           brIn.close();
      }
      catch (IOException e)
      {
           System.err.println(e.getMessage());
      }
 }
