I want to get folder location by providing its name.
I created one folder on "E:\" drive and when I used following code in netbeans it giving me the current loaction of java file.
File directory = new File("SVN");
        boolean isDirectory = directory.isDirectory();
        if (isDirectory) {
            // It returns true if directory is a directory.
            System.out.println("the name you have entered is a directory  : "  +    directory); 
            //It returns the absolutepath of a directory.
            System.out.println("the path is "  + directory.getAbsolutePath());
        else {
            // It returns false if directory is a file.
            System.out.println("the name you have entered is a file  : " +   directory);
            //It returns the absolute path of a file.
            System.out.println("the path is "  +  directory.getAbsolutePath());
    }And i got following output
the name you have entered is a file  : SVN
the path is C:\Users\AjayS\Documents\NetBeansProjects\TestCodes\SVNBut my folder is located on "E:\" drive.

You will have to search for them. But that indicates something seriously wrong with the requirement. In effect you're using the local filename as a secondary key but there is no index on it. You should consider a database.
