Answer 1

You can use

driver.findElement(By.className("alert-success"));

or

driver.findElement(By.className("alert"));

As right now selenium doesn't support multiple class name.If your class name includes a space, WebDriver will see it as a "compound selector". You can use cssSelector or id for selecting the webelement.
