it is esteriication reaction where alcohol and acid react to form water and the ester Salicylic acid + Methanol <==> Methyl Salicylate + Water
answering generally : Alcohol + Acid -------> Ester + water
I think you might be forgetting your acid catalyst to drive the reaction :)
methyl salicylate is also known as oil of wintergreen. Simple stuff to make in a laboratory, and it smells better than most organic chemists!
Excuse me, but I happen to like the smell of organic chemists :p
