how to open external files ?

[Phone Myat Kyaw]

Hi, I'm doing this project as my school assignment. I've done as much as I can for all the source codes part without having tested because I'm having problems to open and access Mxx.mp3 files. I'm using NetBeans and I put all the files under "music" folder and put that folder into "src" folder under the NetBeans project directory.
When I compile, it just keep saying "the file path is undefined" (or something similar to this meaning). I've tested it with prepending "./" + filename but still cannot.

Can someone help me, please ?

thanks in advance

Hi could you provide some additional info :
1.Whether the project is a web application deployed on the server or a standalone java apllication
2.In case of it being a web application ,the directory structure of the application , present in the server where it is deployed.

Sorry for being delayed.
1. It's stand alone Java application. Hence, the file structure is simple and as usual of a NetBeans Project.

I put all MXX.wav files under "measures" folder and put that folder under "src" folder. When I compile, got this error message (compilation is successful but cannot run)

"java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\measures\M96.wav (The system cannot find the path specified)"

This is my method adding the file names into an arraylist.

public static ArrayList<String> createASpiel(int a, int b, int c) {
        ArrayList<String> aSpiel = new ArrayList<String>();
        int row = a + b;
        for (int i=1; i<16; i++) {
            aSpiel.add("../measures/" + "M" + minuet[row][i] + ".wav");
        }
        for (int i=1; i<16; i++) {
            aSpiel.add("../measures/" + "T" + trio[c][i] + ".wav");
        }

        return aSpiel;
    }
 

I've tried without ".." (current directory), but still cannot.

To be able to play, I'm provided a file called StdAudio.class which will read and play the files from the arraylist. I don't have to do anything except building the filenames and calling them properly.

Can someone enlighten me how-to ? If you wish to try and help my case, feel free to ask for the whole files(source codes).

please, appreciate your help !!!

"Current directory" isn't .. but . The .. means one directory up the hierarchy.
