I am trying to retrieve a jrxml file in a relative path using the following java code:

 String jasperFileName = "/web/WEB-INF/reports/MemberOrderListReport.jrxml";
 File report = new File(jasperFileName);
 FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(report);

However, most probably I didn’t succeed in defining the relative path and get an java.io.FileNotFoundException: error during the execution.

Since I am not so experienced in Java I/O operations, I didn’t solve my problem. Any helps or ideas are welcomed.

    You’re trying to treat the jrxml file as an object on the file-system, but that’s not applicable inside a web application.

    You don’t know how or where your application will be deployed, so you can’t point a File at it.

    Instead you want to use getResourceAsStream from the ServletContext. Something like:

    String resourceName = "/WEB-INF/reports/MemberOrderListReport.jrxml"
InputStream is = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(resourceName);

    is what you’re after.
