I tried the code below...

String file_path="http://localhost:8080/HellowJSP/Files";
File[] fileNameList;

//inside On Create()
File f=new File(file_path);
fileNameList=f.listFiles();
String[] filelist=new String[fileNameList.length];

for(i=0;i<fileNameList.length;i++){
         filelist[i]=fileNameList[i].getName();
}

But I got a NullPointerException. The variable fileNameList results a null value. Please help me to solve this problem.

You cannot directly convert a url into a File object. Refer this post to get an idea http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6165732/java-read-in-text-files-from-a-directory-from-the-internet – Shashank Kadne Aug 14 '15 at 07:10
