displaying file in jsp

[Ramesh Y Patil]

I have a jsp/servlet application which uses the weblogic server. My application is creating text files from the user inputs. I am storing these files in a particular directory in unix. I need my jsp to display the text file on a click of a button. How do I get the file and display it?? All I know is the location and file name of the text file. Please help.

What have you come up with so far?

I have been thinking of using fileinputstream to read the the file. But I am not sure about it.

The fileiostream i think loads the file into app server memory. Is there any other way of doing it??

Take a look at SimpleStream at http://simple.souther.us
It streams images from under the WEB-INF directory.

If your JPEGs are being created in a folder within your app, you can pretty much use it as is. If not, you can use a FileInputStreamt to get the stream and use the rest to ship it down to the browser.
