----------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\Myprojects\beerV1>javac -
d classes src/com/example/model/BeerExpert.java
Note: src/com/example/model/BeerExpert.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.

Hi...
I hope that you have found out the answer you have posted here... Anyways... if I am not 2 Late... The probable answer would be:

Actually the Current Directory might not be in the Classpath..If thats the case then please do add .; infront of the Classpath...whereever you have set those Enviornment Variables(My Computer-> Advanced tab->Enviornment Variables)

I hope this helps...

Hi anand,

Have you solved your problem? The problem is your classpath setting. classes is missing. My setting (under Windows XP) is as follow. You can also put the classpath setting in the command line.

java_home
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\

Tomcat_home
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\

classpath
.;classes;%java_home%jre\lib\rt.jar;%Tomcat_home%common\lib\servlet-api.jar
