I have a small java program that reads a file in, in eclipse i have the file in the main project dir and the class file is within the src dir. This works fine.

I want to you this small piece of code within a web project im working on, currently i have the class file in src/tools/, but im lost on where to put the file?

I have tried it in a few places yet it throws file not found.

Where is the best place to store this file? and how can i ensure i have the right path when using the following code?

FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("file.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));

    You either need to load the file as a resource (e.g., getResourceAsStream(), use a path relative to the app (getRealPath()), or put it in an absolute location and use a full path.
