yes, can open local text file javafx webview.

sample app:

import javafx.application.application; import javafx.scene.scene; import javafx.scene.web.webview; import javafx.stage.stage;  public class webviewwithlocaltext extends application {      @override     public void start(stage stage) throws malformedurlexception {         string location =                 new file(                         system.getproperty("user.dir") + file.separator + "test.txt"                 ).touri().tourl().toexternalform();          system.out.println(location);          webview webview = new webview();         webview.getengine().load(location);          // use loadcontent instead of load if want link file.         // webview.getengine().loadcontent(         //     "<a href=\"" + location + "\">open file</a>"         // );          scene scene = new scene(webview);         stage.setscene(scene);         stage.show();     }      public static void main(string[] args) {         launch(args);     } } 

place text file @ location reported system.out when run program.

sample output:

some errors in supplied code:

1. you don't escape quotes.
2. you don't supply valid file uri, supply windows path prefixed file protocol.
3. you hardcode path , drive specifier, not portable solution between systems.

i don't have windows machine test, perhaps work absolute path.

wv.getengine().loadcontent("<a href=\"file:///c:/users/dev/infor.txt\">open file</a>");
