Accessing an external resource via JNDI

[djheath]

I'm new to JBoss but reasonably familiar with Tomcat, in which environment we often created entries in the server.xml file specifying things such as external file paths for storage of web-delivered assets, etc.

In JBoss, how do I do this? For example, I'd like to specify at the container level where to store uploaded files and want to enter a filepath that all webapps can use. Can someone point me to an example? Thanks in advance,

I think you are looking for this: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ExternalDirectories. Even though that wiki entry is for older versions of jbossas the technique still works.
