Does anyone know how to get programmatically the absolute path in the filesystem for an EAR deployed in JBoss, from Java code within that same EAR?

I need this because I want to copy some files that are inside the EAR to another part of the filesystem, on deploy-time.

Thank you everyone!

you can do you "System.getProperty()" here is the link for other the properties you can used

ex:

String jBossPath = System.getProperty("jboss.server.base.dir")

result

"/Users/ALL_THE_PATH/JBoss_7-1/standelone"

After you just need to add "/deployments/YOUR_PROJECT_EAR/..."
