Haven't tried but if you do a "new File()" you might end up in the bin dir (working directory) of the AS and navigate from parent down to data from there.

Looking at the boot log you should also be able to pick it up from the environment at "jboss.server.data.dir"

I think if you try read the System property "jboss.server.data.dir"  , you should get what you are expecting...If in domain model and want to go to domain/data folder try "jboss.domain.data.dir' .

Remember that accessing the filesystem out of the application will break the EE specification.

I saw many applications with such approach (and it worked), but you might come in trouble if you are running in a cluster or similar environment where requests might change the instances and you have not longer access to the specific  File or Directory.
