trouble finding a text file to read into an array

[Jim Bauer]

I'm having trouble reading a text file from a couple of classes that are served up from servlets via jsp.
What I'm doing is reading the file into an array and building from there.

String fileread = "bauerquarterhorses.com\\Combined.txt";
LoadArray2 newarray = new LoadArray2();
newarray.SetArray(fileread);

I've moved my Combined.txt file all over and it can't seem to find it.

It works fine on my machine. But I have to specify where on my c: drive to look for the file. How do I get the class on the web site to know where to look?

any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks

If the file is within your web applications folder hierarchy the best method is ServletContext.getResourceAsStream.
