Determine the current deployment location within the Web App

[semtex]

Hey there.

I've the following problem: my Web Application reads and writes text files from within the Application. This files have to be accessible over the internet.

The problem is: when i create a file, it's created in the jboss/bin directory... but it has to be created in the web application (otherwise it wouldn't be accessible though the browser)... but every time i deploy the application, the random number increments, making it impossible to set a path or something like that...

How can I get the current deployment location from within the code? or, if that's not possible, how can i set one fixed location for the deployment of the Application, making it possible to hardcode the path?

Thanks in advance!
Klaus

You can deploy your application in exploded format as mentioned at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ExplodedDeployment and then use the jboss.server.home.dir property to know the location of your application.
See this http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=130921 for more details.
