**connectdatabase.java**      /*      * change template, choose tools | templates      * , open template in editor.      */     package shreesai;      import java.sql.connection;     import java.sql.drivermanager;     import java.sql.sqlexception;     import javax.swing.joptionpane;      /**      *      * @author deeprocks      */     public class connectdatabase {          connection con = null;          public static connection connecrdb(){              try{                 class.forname("org.sqlite.jdbc");                 connection con = drivermanager.getconnection("jdbc:sqlite:g:\\development\\project\\database\\shreesai.sqlite");                 return con;             }             catch(classnotfoundexception | sqlexception e){                 joptionpane.showmessagedialog(null,"problem connection of database");                 return null;             }         } }**** 

/* working fine want if export project jar , client run jar different path then????*/

i've tried using code

public class connectdatabase {      connection con = null;      public static connection connecrdb(){          try{             string dir = system.getproperty("user.dir");             class.forname("org.sqlite.jdbc");             connection con = drivermanager.getconnection("jdbc:sqlite:"+dir+"shreesai.sqlite");             return con;         }         catch(classnotfoundexception | sqlexception e){             joptionpane.showmessagedialog(null,"problem connection of database");             return null;         }     }  } 

even tried 1 :

public class connectdatabase {          connection con = null;          public static connection connecrdb(){              try{                 string dir = system.getproperty("user.dir");                 string maindir = dir + file.separator + file.separator ;                 class.forname("org.sqlite.jdbc");                 connection con = drivermanager.getconnection("jdbc:sqlite:"+maindir+"shreesai.sqlite");                 return con;             }             catch(classnotfoundexception | sqlexception e){                 joptionpane.showmessagedialog(null,"problem connection of database");                 return null;             }         }      } 

but nothing think there must problem double backslashes cause dir returning : g:\development\project\database. , want g:\\development\\project\\database\\

any help?

the ways you're tried not wrong, it's right on computer, so, solution easy, bring .sqlite file inside src, maybe want create package named database, it's not required, it's better.

if .sqlite file inside source that:

src/shreesai.sqlite

....=drivermanager.getconnection("jdbc:sqlite:src/shreesai.sqlite");

don't want absolute path too, , avoid using backslashes directories( \\ ) because of different windowing platforms, use slash(/) instead.
