Exception on running IE web Driver

I'm new in java, using it for automatic tests. Please help me what I'm doing wrong with this code?

public static WebDriver driver = null;

public static WebDriver getDriver() {
if (driver == null) {

File fileIE = new File("src//test/java/iedriver.exe");
            System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", fileIE.getAbsolutePath());
   }
try {
 driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
    }
 catch (Exception e)
 e.printStackTrace();
}

Try to add DesiredCapabilities to your code.

if (driver == null) {

    File fileIE = new File("src//test/java/iedriver.exe");
            System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", fileIE.getAbsolutePath());                

            DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

            try {                                       
                driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieCapabilities);                                        
            } catch (Exception e) {                 
                throw new RuntimeException(e);
            }
       }

the DesiredCapabilities help to set properties for the WebDriver. A typical usecase would be to set the path for any type of the WebDriver if your local installation doesn't correspond to the default settings.
