If you really want to get help then you will describe what you are doing and explain how you come to get the output you are getting. Really, you should not be too lazy todescribe your problem.

Hi Bhanu Priya!I think You r getting this problem due to the member(function or a Variable) of your "ServletExample" class has an access modifier Private.It is better to post the source code of your "ServletExample" class then It is easy to
debug and find the root cause.

///Source code
i am new to java servlets so that not able to trace the exception why it is coming

import java.io.*;
import org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
class ServletExample
{

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException
{

try
{

String fileName="hello.doc";
String docPath="c:\\hello.doc";
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-word");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename="+fileName);
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream(docPath));
fs.writeFilesystem(os);
os.flush();
os.close();
}
catch ( Exception ex )
{
System.out.println("exception" +ex);
}

}
}

You need to read a tutorial on servlets first then.
HttpServlets should extend HttpServlet.

say you said ServletExample should extend HttpServlet
i tried and compile the program again it is coming
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
class ServletExample extends HttpServlet
{

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException
{
..........

}
}

As said above by Mr.rxxxxx, first let your class being extends "javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet"

Make the class public.

Putting your classes into packages is also a good idea. The best advice for you though is to stop all this and read a tutorial from the start. You are just trying to guess what the correct things should be when they are clearly documented in tutorials.

okay i will start reading servlet tutorial thanks for your suggestion sir

Where from you get that example Bhanu_Priya?You said that you are new to servlets then dont go for such a subtle examples.First learn the Syntax and types of classes exist like GenericServlets,HttpServlets,methods in it and their purpose,and go for Cookies,Sessions,RequestDispathching techniques etc...
Dont be frustrate on me just take it as an advice thats it!What i'm saying is as a beginner you go through such an examples like POIFSFilesystem etc..then you feel the difficulty and obviously you lost the interest there by you may change your attitude towards some other Technologies.Indeed,we loose one great aspirant from the world of Servlets.

The whole Servlet like this:

this is just a example...
