How to access the deploy folder from inside my application

[pete007]

Hello,

I'm working on a system, that generates Images, places them in a special folder and puts a-hrefs in the response of the page.

I created an folder "image" in the jboss-deployer, where I place my images. The full path is:

$JBOSS_HOME\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer\ROOT.war\images

When I first tried to generate the image files, they got placed in:

$JBOSS\bin\images\

So I am using in my application the path

../server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/ROOT.war/images

This is okay for development, but when someone is using another configuration than default, the application will place the images in the wrong directory.

So my question is, how can I find out, where the current application is running, or where I can find the ROOT.war of the currently used configuration? Is there any class/method, that holds the desired informations?

If there's a better way to make the images accessible, I would like to hear how it works too.

Thanks in advance, Peter

The jboss.server.home.dir system property holds the location jboss_home/server/xxxx, where xxx is the configuration name.

That's what I was looking for, thank you.

Now I can use it this way:

import org.jboss.system.server.ServerConfigLocator;
..
 private String imgFolderPath = ServerConfigLocator.locate().getServerHomeDir() + "/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/ROOT.war/images/";
