How to read line from txt?

How to read line from txt? Look at my code:
public static String getTemplateFromFile() {
String name = null;
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
FileReader("http://localhost:8080/blog/resources/cache/templateName.txt"));
name = reader.readLine();
//name="TEST";
//NULL anyway
reader.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
return name;
}
It returns me NULL even I say name="TEST"; in try construction.
