reading text file doesn't work...

[GoSooJJ]

hi again,
i just tested reading text file, but i'm not able to read a file... here is simple jsp code for make sure it found a file and read...

<%@ page language=&quot;java&quot; import=&quot;java.io.*&quot; %>
<%@ page language=&quot;java&quot; import=&quot;java.util.*&quot; %>
<%
try {
File txtFile = new File(&quot;stdnet.txt&quot;
FileReader fr = new FileReader(txtFile);
out.println(&quot;found file!&quot;
} catch (IOException e) {
out.println(&quot;error!&quot;
}
%>

what is wrong here? please help...

Try giving the full path and filename.

Also, put your try catch back and just add the following line to your catch block, makes for easier debugging:
e.printStackTrace();

Thx so much wushutwist!
U're right, i had to add full path and filename.

wushutwist, i have an another question if you can help me. How can outside user this function? I mean, assume the client has the file and trying to upload text file and server reads it and copy to database. I already finish on server local text file but not client. Any idea on this?

again, thx...
