I am developing an application in Java that uses a database
and I want to install it on three computers in the same network and save the changes as if I use it on a single computer.
I want to share my application on the network.
How to state-fully share my Java application's data-changes among the multiple hosts on a local network?

The first two options are :
Develop a web based application and host it on one server. Using browser you can access from any machine from the same network even if you dont have internet connection.
Use JNLP protocol to launch your applet or desktop/swing based application from a server to any client machine.
Keep the application jar if it is a desktop application in a network share folder where user can click and launch the application.
Note: Even if you install the jar in three computer it is possible to share data if they are connected to a single database server. But you might need to deploy the jar on each machine separately for future program update.
