There was some strange garbled stuff mixed in with your code; I cleaned it up for you. I hope I didn't take out anything that was supposed to be there. Anyway, it looks like the most likely problem is that in your while loop, you use readLine() twice but only check for a null once. You probably want to fix this to read only one line each time through the loop, check if that line is null, and then do something with that line (without reading another line - save that for the next time through the loop).
Also, in your catch IOException, you will get much better information if something does go wrong if you put in something like:
<code><pre> System.out.println("Error reading file: " + e.getMessage());</pre></code>
or even
<code><pre> e.printStackTrace();</pre></code>

In JSP, sometimes it could not find your file, you have to get path URI first, then do file reading/writing.
String path = application.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/");
However, I did not have this problem on local drive. To which, Jim probably solved your problem.
Thanks!
