Just open up a new BufferedReader( new FileInputStream
("/path/to/file.txt"))) and you should be fine :)
If you want to see some source code that does this type of thing, look
at our RandomQuote servlet at http://www.coolservlets.com
Where to store the file is a totally different issue... but it sounds
like you might just be able to hard code a place on the file system for
your customer.
Good luck!
