Deciding on File Upload's Location

[aeurielesn]

Hi,

While developing a web application I got stuck on file upload's issues:
1.- How do I choose a proper non-volatile location with writing privileges?
2.- Can be the "deploy\myapp.war" folder a good location or it's reset on each server's restart?

Thanks in advance,

It's not reset on each server restart. But remember that any application upgrades which you or your team mates might be doing may lead this folder to be deleted. So placing the uploaded files within that folder is not a good idea.

That means the only way is talking with the JBoss' Administrator to guaranteed a folder in the outside, isn't it?

Really there's no other way?

Thanks,
