To add to Craig's statements, I would also chain a buffered reader to the FileReader for enhanced efficiency:
File file = new File("./public_html/xml/cc.xml");
BufferedReader fis = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
Good luck!

It might help if you actually read in the data you are talking about, as well as
closed the input file :-).

One other thing you should do is use a FileReader instead of a FileINputStream,
since you are dealing with text. Otherwise, you're likely to have problems with
unusual character sets.
