Namaste All, I want to use basex locally in Java swing project. I wanted to create database in the executable jar file's directory. Suppose my directory is on c:\tdd My code is as below public static void createdatabase() throw s Exception { Context cts = new Context(); new Set(StaticOptions.DBPATH,"c:\\tdd ). execute(cts); new CreateDB("collection"). execute(cts); cts.close(); } I am getting an error Global option ' DBPATH' cannot be set. Please guide As user input from GUI is getting saved in local database. Thanks Tushar Deshmukh.
