Thread: Creating URL in java

I m linux user... Developing my project in Eclipse IDE. and the project structure folder is Merchant.com(my project name)-->WebContent-->pg(folder)-->index.html(file).

My code is

public class Url {
 
	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
 
		public static void main(String[] args) {
	        try {
	            //
	            // Creating a url object by specifing each parameter separately, including
	            // the protocol, hostname, port number, and the page name
	            //
	            URL url = new URL("http", "www.Merchant.com" , 80, "/pg/index.html");
 
	            //URL url = new URL("http://Merchant.com/index.html");
	            // We can also specify the address in a single line.
	            //www.merchant.com/pg/index.html
 
	            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
 
	            String line;
	            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
	                System.out.println(line);
	            }
 
	            reader.close();
	        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
	            e.printStackTrace();
	        } catch (IOException e) {
	            e.printStackTrace();
	        }
 
	}
 
}

I m run this project on tomcat server so that the folder structure is mycomputer-->usr-->shear-->Apachetomcat-->webapps-->MyProject(created manually by me)-->Merchant.com so my question is where do i put index.html? Am i missing something?

Thanks

yes, this is about folder structure of tomcat server so that i can invoke index.html from my java application(in which we have created url). Currently we are getting error of "page not found" when we call the created url.

Should I upload index.html on web? Is this the solution of my issue?

I put index.html file in pg folder which is in my web address. pg folder is in Merchant.com. It didn't work.

you should create your pg folder inside WEB-INF directory that is beneath your web application and put index.html file in pg folder.

I have put index.html file in pg folder n pg folder in WEB-INF bt i m getting error 404. After move pg folder under WebContent all is working fine.
