How do I access the JBoss data directory from inside an application?

Question

I would like to upload files to my the server/default/data directory using a simple upload servlet and be able to access them from within my application, but I can't seem to find how to access it. I tried

getServletContext().getRealPath("data");

but that didn't help.

Answer 1

to get the absolute path, just do:

System.getProperty("jboss.server.data.dir");
