File LookUp in the MM : FileNotFound Exception

Hello Friends,

I am trying to fetch a file during the message mapping. The code I have written in the UDF is as follows :

<u>

String company = "";

HashMap fileMap = new HashMap();

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:
testfolder
Mydata.txt"));

String line = "";

while((line = reader.readLine())!=null)

{

String[] lineArray = line.split(",");

fileMap.put(lineArray[1], lineArray[0]);

}

company = (String) fileMap.get(a);

return company; </u>

<b>

But I am getting the FileNotFound Exception when I tried to run the interface mapping.

I have confirmed that file is there in the respective folder.

1. Can we use the above code to fetch the file ?

2. Do we need to put the file in the XI server ?

</b>

Thanks for your time.
