Issue while running a java application in Linux env

Question

I have a java project built in eclipse in my Windows machine. Now i had to run it in Linux machine. I created a jar , and i am trying to run the jar.

The main class, takes a XML file as input. Previously on Windows, i had given path of the file in Windows. Now i kept the .xml file in the root location in Unix.

can i modify the code in Windows, to the root path of Linux machine and try to run the jar.

I did it like this ,

XYZ parsero = new XYZ("//root//workflow.xml");

Created the jar and tried to run in Unix.

I got the below exception.

java.net.UnknownHostException: root

How do i need to run this.

Answer 1

I got the solution. It should be XYZ parsero = new XYZ("/root/workflow.xml"); unlike in Windows
