Hi Anant,

I tried running your code. There was no error like you have mentioned when the code ran. However you would have to change the method doPost(..) to doGet(..)
in order to access it directly with the URL and I had removed the statement
Thread cq; in the servlet although it should not create a problem.

Hi Anant,

> java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/example/web/BeerSelect (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

This looks like a Java version issue. Could it be that you have a mixup in the Java version used by your IDE, build.xml and/or servlet container. I remember I had a similar error some time ago. As far as I can recall, it was a conflict between Eclipse which compiled for Java 5, but the servlet container was WebLogic 8.1 running on Java 1.4.

HTH,
