saving word file in a particular location

Question

I want to save my file in user selected location in java swing application. I am generating word file dynamically. Moreover When I am putting like this

FileWriter _file = new FileWriter("C:/Calender"+.doc", true);

the file is getting generated in c:/ drive directly in the name of Calender.doc.

However If i am passing path through

jfilechooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath()

returning the value "C:\\Users\\Shorav\\Desktop" is not saving any file in this location.

Please help; how to save the file.

Code is

chooser = new JFileChooser();
        chooser.setCurrentDirectory(new java.io.File("."));
        chooser.setDialogTitle("Select location to save the file");
        chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
        chooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);

        if (chooser.showOpenDialog(null) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
//          System.out.println("getCurrentDirectory(): "+ chooser.getCurrentDirectory());
//          System.out.println("getSelectedFile() : "+ chooser.getSelectedFile());
            System.out.println("Absolute Path : " +chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath());
        } else {
            System.out.println("No Selection ");
        }

This will ask from User for desired location to save the file.

Then this is returning the path by C:\\Users\\Shorav\\Desktop . I want to generate the word file on this location through the following

 FileWriter _file = new FileWriter("C:/Calender"+.doc", true);

This is returning word file.

You will get location of a folder user selected with jfilechooser.getSelectedFile . Use it to construct a File object and pass it to FileWriter .

File selectedFile = jfilechooser.getSelectedFile();
FileWriter _file = new FileWriter(new File(selectedFile, "Calender.doc"), true);
