Question

I am using class.getResourceAsStream(filename) thi

Answer 1

If i can't update the text file in jar what other solution is there?

Store the information in any of:

1. Cookies
2. The server
3. Deploy the applet using 1.6.0_10+, launch it using JWS and use the PersistenceService to store the information. Here is my demo. of the PersistenceService.

Also, if your users will agree to a trusted applet (which seems overkill for this), you might write the information to a sub-directory of user.home.
