Displaying output of a java code using servlet

i am building a project in which i will ask the user to enter his code in the provided textarea and then on pressing the compile button,show the produced output on the next page.In the code ,using "String name", i am asking for the name of the class which user will use and using "String text", the code which user will enter .Firstly i compile the code using "javac class_name"(in the try block "Process p")and then execute it using "java class_name"(in the try block "Process c").Using this,a .java file and a .class file is created in the location "C:\Users\ANGADPENNY1\workspace\Project\src\".Now the question is that how can i display the produced output on the next page. 

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;

        if (file.delete()) {
            System.out.println(file.getName() + " is deleted!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Delete operation is failed.");

    } catch (Exception e) {

    filewriter.close();

    try {

                        + name + ".java");


        Process c = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
                "java C:\\Users\\ANGADPENNY1\\workspace\\Project\\src\\"
                        + name);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e.toString());
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

It's not easy with Runtime.exec, you have to be very careful with it. See this article for details.

Instead, I would reccomend using a ProcessBuilder. It has simple methods for redirecting both input and output (and don't forget about redirecting the error stream!).

You can get the output stream of the Process as follows - 

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
            "javac  C:\\Users\\ANGADPENNY1\\workspace\\Project\\src\\"
                    + name + ".java");
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));

Then you can read the Streams with

String readLine = null;
while ((readLine = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
            //process readLine 
        }
