java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect - opening file

[Anthony Dodd <An...@synergy-fs.com>]

Hi

	I'm using tomcat 3.3 m3 on Windows 2000, Xerces-J 1.4.0. I've got a
simple jsp which uses the servlet ServletContext to get the URL of an xml
file contained in a subdirectory of the web application. The URL is
correctly resolved, but it still fails when it tries to open a socket to
read the file. The exception it gets is "java.net.ConnectException:
Connection refused: connect".
