Error reading XML file in URL

Question

On my application I need to take the parameters from a configuration �object� at a XML file outside the Jar file. Executing an applet and through the appletviewer I can read the file if it is on the same folder. When executing from a browser I can not locate the file.
I have created a class with the code:
        URL codeBase = this.getCodeBase();
        URL url = null;
        try {
            url = new URL(codeBase, "filename.xml");
     .........When I execute the code above the following error appears: java.applet.Applet.getCodeBase(Unknown Source).

Answer 1

You want to display it or work with the content of the XML File?
For displaying you do not need a jsp to do that the link to the *.xml will be enough.
Otherwise you need to parse it, either with a SAX or DOM Parser. Look for dom4j, it is easier for the start as I think.
