Not exceptional case but rather the most common programing error of all time. HttpServletRequest should do the trick

First, I'd like to request that you use the CODE tags when you post code, so that the code remains formatted, and is easier to read.




The above error message is telling you that it can't figure out where you declared the variable called result. If you look closely at your code, you will see why the compiler is complaining.



The other complaints all relate to the same sort of thing: It can't find the class called BeerExpert. Have you compiled BeerExpert.java?

First Off, thanks for guiding me to use the CODE tag while quoting any code snippet. It does make the questions more visible to anyone looking at it.

Following is how the errors got resolved:-

(a) The below error was resolved using the modified command for compilation.


(b)The subsequent two errors were resolved once the compiler could find the BeerExpert class.

(c)The last one as pointed out by Katrina was indeed a typo.


Thanks one and all for your support.
