    <p>I am not sure where the problems is spawning from. I have two classes, one called testFriends class and another called GUIapp class. In each of the classes, my object is to import the file for use. In the testFriends class, I import the file in the main method, it parses it and everything works nicely. In my GUIapp class, I tried doing the same thing, but importing it in the constructor method and it tells me the file doesn't exists. Both of the files classes reside in the same src folder and I am using:</p> <pre><code>BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFile)); </code></pre> <p>where the inputFile is just a string "friends.txt".</p> <p>Here are the two classes:</p> <pre><code>//This class works public class temp { public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException { try { System.out.println("hey"); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("friends.txt")); //create string buffer for reading String line = in.readLine(); //reading first line System.out.println(line); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println("Fail Import."); } } } //////////The one below doesn't... public class GUIapp extends JApplet{ //** PANEL **// private JPanel outerPanel; //** Button **// private JButton button1; /* * Constructor for Getting all the friends set up */ public GUIapp() throws ParseException, FileNotFoundException{ BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("friends.txt"));//Error Line } /* * Create Stuff */ public void createStuff() { outerPanel = new JPanel(); //create outer panel button1 = new JButton("Click Me"); outerPanel.add(button1,BorderLayout.SOUTH); } /* * Initialize Stuff */ public void init(){ createStuff(); //initialize create stuff this.add (outerPanel); } } </code></pre> <p>Any ideas why when both are working in the same directory, one can read while the other can't?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>EDIT: Below is the exception thrown when I run the GUIapp Class:</p> <pre><code>java.io.FileNotFoundException: friends.txt (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.&lt;init&gt;(FileInputStream.java:120) at java.io.FileInputStream.&lt;init&gt;(FileInputStream.java:79) at java.io.FileReader.&lt;init&gt;(FileReader.java:41) at GUIapp.&lt;init&gt;(GUIapp.java:50) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:27) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:513) at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:355) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:308) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(AppletPanel.java:807) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(AppletPanel.java:714) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:368) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) </code></pre>

    1. COPlease specify how/where you're launching the applet. Depending on your answer, you may want to read [What Applets Can and Cannot Do](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/security.html).

    2. COThis is my first time doing GUI design. I am initializing the applet through the "init" method, which calls the createStuff method.

    3. CONo, I mean using what tool are you using to launch the applet? If you're viewing it in a browser, definitely check out that link I mentioned above. You may want to check it out anyway.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
