Hi Guys..

I got error when I call plain code in servlet..
Kindly look my program

BeerExpert.java


import java.util.*;
public class BeerExpert
{
public List getBrands(String color)
{
List l = new ArrayList();
if(color.equals("amber"))
{
l.add("Gopal");
l.add("Senthil");
}
else
{
l.add("Sorry");
l.add("Ma");
}
return (l);
}
}

it compiles fine


BeerSelect.java

import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;

public class BeerSelect extends HttpServlet
{
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse resp)throws ServletException,IOException
{
resp.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter pw=resp.getWriter();
String c = req.getParameter("color");
BeerExpert br = new BeerExpert();
List result = br.getBrands(c);


Iterator it = result.iterator();
while(it.hasNext())
{
pw.println("<br> Try:"+it.next());
}
}
}

This BeerSelect.java will always produce compile time error..

E:\>javac BeerSelect.java
BeerSelect.java:13: cannot find symbol
symbol : class BeerExpert
location: class BeerSelect
BeerExpert br = new BeerExpert();
^
BeerSelect.java:13: cannot find symbol
symbol : class BeerExpert
location: class BeerSelect
BeerExpert br = new BeerExpert();
^
2 errors

respond me soon... I m confussed now..

One thing you can try is first try to write both the java files in single file..
Means copy BeerExpert.java code into BeerSelect.java file n then try to compile and run it.

Other possibility is that the both files may be in different folders, if so put them in same folder..

Lot of thanks for your reply...

I also try that... put 2 programs in same folder(w/o packages) and compile it...

Same error occurs...

Often the local directory is not in the classpath, to add it, simply add the following to your options: '-cp .'

This will force the classpath - which is the locations for which it will look for other files needed to compile the current program - to look in the current directory
