How do i show the html page which is out of web context?
If i have a test.html in c: drive, how do i display it?
The following link is not working.

Of course that's not going to work except on the machine on which the file is located.

Either move the file to where the web server can find it, or write a servlet to stream the file.

the file is located on the same machine, still it doesn't work.

I use the following stream method in the jsp, but it is not displaying the html properly.
--------------------------
response.setContentType("text/html");
File file = new File("c:/test.html");
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
OutputStream os=response.getOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
int count = 0;
while ((count = in.read(buf)) >= 0)
{
os.write(buf, 0, count);
}
os.flush();
in.close();
os.close();
--------------------------

That doesn't give us very much to go on.

I would also highly highly and did I mention, HIGHLY, recommend that you do this in a servlet rather than a JSP.

I think what Bear meant was that the file would need to be on the same machine as the browser which, of course would be absurd.

What errors are you getting while trying to stream the file from your servlet?

hi,

Not seeing any reason why this stream example wouldn't work, I implemented it verbatim and, believe me, it worked both in the localhost and in a remote host. So, unless your html page is faulty (did you try to see it direct from the filesystem?) it should work for you too.

Using the above code i can stream any ordinary html, but my html is generated from jasperreports. I got to set some parameter before it generate the report, this is to align the content properly.

Anyway Thanks for the info guys. I solve this issue.
