What is "the output of java file"? Do you mean the output from a java program?
Does "in a web page" mean in a browser?
Is there a server and client involved or is it a standalone app on your computer only?
If only your computer have the java program write the output to a file with the correct HTML tags and start a browser to read that file and display it.

Another possible meaning of "output of java file" could be a listing of the source of the Java file.

If the OP means "create content in a Java program and write the results as an HTML page to a user's browser" then the usual way to do that is with a servlet.

You mean to display the output in a web page (html) rather than in command prompt or text file??

Hi, I have a problem similar to the original one. I need to write an application which will create a html document and display some information in it.

I've read a little about servlets and understood that usually you use them when you have a web application: for example there is a web page where a user can enter some data and then the servlet processes it and changes the web page according to the entered data.
I don't need to change the html dynamically all I need is to create it using some data I already have and send it to user, who is only going to read the content of the page and click some links.
I had a look at iText library 1T3XT: Product . The old versions of it create pdf, rtf and html, so maybe this would be enough to create my web page, since I don't need interaction with user?
I will also need to create some graphs and display them on this web page so will need another library for the graphics.
I would appreciate some tips on what to use. Thanks.
