Jasper Reports problem

Question

Hi,
I have just begun to use Jasper Reports, and I am trying to load a sample JR xml file into a jsp in my web application.
report.jsp
<%@ page
   import="java.io.*,
           java.util.*,
           java.sql.Connection,
           javax.sql.DataSource,
           javax.naming.InitialContext,
           net.sf.jasperreports.engine.*,
           net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design.JasperDesign,
           net.sf.jasperreports.engine.xml.JRXmlLoader,
           net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.*"
%><%@page import="com.energyts.ebench.*"
%><%@page import="com.energyts.db.*"
%><%@page import="java.sql.ResultSet"
%>
<%
     out.println("Attempting to create Jasper report");
     try{
     // read in xml design
     InputStream input = new FileInputStream(new File("c:\\Tomcat 5.5\\webapps\\eBench\\report.xml"));
     JasperDesign design = JRXmlLoader.load(input);
     // compile design
     JasperReport report = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(design);
     // Database connection
     Statement statement = EbenchUtils.getStatement(session);
     JasperPrint print
    = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, new HashMap(), statement.getConnection());
       JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(
                 print, "reports/simple_report.pdf");
     }catch (JRException e){
          out.println("failed");
          e.printStackTrace();
%>I am using Tomcat 5.5 and JasperReports 2.04
I am getting this error:
HTTP Status 404 - reports\report.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)
type Status report
message reports\report.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)
description The requested resource (.\reports\report.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)) is not available.
Is the way I declare my path not declared correctly (the file is in the directory)? do the Tomcat settings need to be changed for this to work?
Any suggestions
Thanks
J

I learned that my mistake was that I am not using the .jasper file. I have a new error now although I already put the needed file inside the classes folder. This is the error:
