JSP Reading Text File
In this tutorial you will learn about how to read text file in JSP.
In this example we will discussed about how to read text file from the JSP page. To read the text file from JSP page I have created a text file in the WEB-INF folder and then created a JSP page into the WebContent folder onto which stored the file path into a InputStream class using getResourceAsStream() method of implicit object application. To store the content of a file used the BufferedReader class and to read the file contents used its method readLine() that reads the contents of file line by line.

response.setStatus(response.SC_NOT_FOUND);
}
else
{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader((new InputStreamReader(ins)));
String data;
while((data= br.readLine())!= null)
{
out.println(data+"<br>");
}
