Tomcat/JSP/Java

I am running tomcat locally and I'm trying to read a txt file. The only time it works is if I specify the path as "c:\java\commonwords.txt" if I specify a relative path like "commonwords.txt it tries to find the file at windows\system32

how the heck do i read this file? I have been coverting it to a URI and tried to use the getPath functions to get an absolute path and no luck.

Does anyone know what I can do? I'm desperate.

What exactly are you trying to do?

To read the file as a stream?

To always open the same file without using a relative path?
