[rkyakkala]

Hi,

i am unable to read txt file from jsp. i am getting null pointer exception.

path of jsp: WEB-INF/views/main.jsp
path of txt: WEB-INF/views/ServerDetails.txt

Following is the code...please suggest where can i make changes to solve the issue.

<%
BufferedReader input = null;
String serverName;
try {
    input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("ServerDetails.txt"));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
    e1.printStackTrace();
}
String line = "";
try {
    while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
      System.out.println(line);
%>
serverName=request.getServerName();
<%      if(line.equalsIgnoreCase(serverName)){
%>
<H4 align="right">
   out.println("you have entered into primary server");
 </H4>
 
<%      }else{%>
<H4 align="right">
  out.println("you have entered into secondary server");
</H4>
<%      }
 
}
    input.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
 %>
