!!!PathManagerService and HornetQ
PathManagerService is used to resolve configuration entries specified in the format:
{{{
  ...
  <bindings-directory path="./bindings" relative-to="jboss.server.base.dir"/>
  ...
}}}
or
{{{
  ...
  <bindings-directory path="./bindings" relative-to="hornetq.shared.dir"/>
  ...
}}}
HornetQ configuration does its own path processing, and supplies default values for "relative-to" if that is not specified. That default value is "jboss.server.data.dir" (HornetQServerAdd.DEFAULT_RELATIVE_TO). It does not really matter if the "path" attribute value is relative or absolute, it will be always be considered relative to "relative-to".
!!!PathManagerService Implementation
The path roots are added at boot within ServerPathManagerService (that extends PathManagerService). This is where the "path names" and their absolute values are added.

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.

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.
