In Java, in order to call the webdriver first you will have to set the past and then will have to create an Instance for the webdriver.

So this way you can use the webdriver.

Eg:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Your\\path\\chromedriver.exe");\\set the path
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();\\create an instance 

Using the above two statement you are good to go.

You can take a look on this question also

Hi,

Selenium provides drivers specific to each browser and without revealing the internal logic of browser functionality, the browser driver interacts with the respective browser by establishing a secure connection. These browser drivers are also specific to the language which is used for test case automation like C#, Python, Java, etc.

You can download the browser driver of your choice as per your language requirements. For example, you can configure Selenium Web driver for Python on BrowserStack.

When a test script is executed with the help of WebDriver, the following tasks are performed in the background:

  • An HTTP request is generated and it is delivered to the browser driver for every Selenium Command
  • The HTTP request is received by the driver through an HTTP server
  • All the steps/instructions to be executed on the browser is decided by an HTTP server
  • The HTTP server then receives the execution status and in turn sends it back to the automation scripts
