Overview

WildFly uses logical names for filesystem paths. All top-level configuration files standalone.xml, domain.xml and host.xml include a <paths> section for declaring paths. Closer declaration to the server take precedence.

For domain.xml, the <paths> element must occur between <system-properties> and <management>.

WildFly Standard Paths

WildFly Standard Paths

relative-to

"relative-to" attribute references a global path name in the domain model.

Adding Custom Paths

We can add more named paths, so we can use them as "relative-to". They are added as follows:

<server ...>
   <extensions>
      ...
   </extensions>
   <paths>
      <path name="hornetq.shared.dir" path="C:/tmp/hqd"/>
   </paths>
   ...
</server>

In the above example, "hornetq.shared.dir" can be used as path name for "relative-to" used in HornetQ configuration.

Adding Custom Paths within the WildFly Layout

A custom path that lives within the WildFly layout can be declared in two ways - either as an absolute path, or a path relative to one of the WildFly "known" locations:

    <paths>
        <path name="hornetq.active.dir" path="${jboss.server.data.dir}/hornetq-active"/>
    </paths>

or

    <paths>
        <path name="hornetq.active.dir" path="hornetq-active" relative-to="jboss.server.data.dir"/>
    </paths>
