Firstly, I just finished doing the stuff you asking for ....
What I do is the following
public class HTMLString {
.....
..
public String getBodyString(String filename)
{
// this loads the .html file from a directory which is a sub-directory
in which the HTMLString class is
// in your case this will be the servlet class
URL fileURL = HTMLString.class.getResource("../html/"+filename);
InputStream fis = fileURL.openStream();
// now read and parse the file from which only the body part is
returned
// ... blah blah .. read into bodyString
return bodyString;
}
And secondly, it's not a dumb question ;-) ...
Hope it helps,
cheers,
Yogesh
