Problem while trying to execute Java class in JSP using RunTime Class

Question

Hi,
I want to execute a JAVA class through a JSP. For this I am using following code ....
JSP (AAA.jsp) CODE ............
try
String[] cmd = new String[3];
cmd[0] = "cmd.exe" ;
cmd[1] = "/C" ;
cmd[2] = "java -DPeBS_CONFIG_HOME=D:/CASLIntegration/PeBS/srcvob/PeBS/config Service_Statement_Application 22/May/2001 22/May/2003";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println("Execing " + cmd[0] + " " + cmd[1] + " " + cmd[2]);
Process proc = rt.exec(cmd);
// any error message?
StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
// any output?
StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
// kick them off
errorGobbler.start();
outputGobbler.start();
// any error???
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
System.out.println("ExitValue: " + exitVal);
catch (Throwable t)
t.printStackTrace();
StreamGobbler THread class Code ..........
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class StreamGobbler extends Thread
InputStream is;
String type;
StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type)
this.is = is;
this.type = type;
public void run()
try
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line=null;
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(type + ">" + line);
} catch (IOException ioe)
ioe.printStackTrace();
I have successfully compiled and placed the class file for the above class in JSP's servlet engine. However, when I execute the JSP through explorer Web Browser, I get following compile time error:
An error occurred between lines: 36 and 86 in the jsp file: /casl/LocalApp/VehicleServiceStmt/AAA.jsp
Generated servlet error:
D:\Tomcat\work\localhost\_\casl\LocalApp\VehicleServiceStmt\AAA$jsp.java:118: No constructor matching StreamGobbler(java.io.InputStream, java.lang.String) found in class StreamGobbler.
StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");

StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
I am unable to determine the reason of why the constructor which exists in the StreamGobbler Class is not recevied in JSP. If I try to write the same code in JSP as a JAVA class, keeping StreamGobler class same, the programme executes successfully.
Please help me find solution to this at the earliest. Thanks in advance,

Thanks,
I got it working by making the constructor Public.
