Read and Display A Local Text File in JSP Page - Stack Overflow

The document discusses displaying a local text file in a JSP page. The original code used System.out.println() to print the file contents, but this sent it to the server log rather than displaying in the browser. The solution is to use out.println() instead, which will send the text to the user's web browser. The asker confirmed this worked for their issue of the file not displaying previously.
