Contains a bootstrap descriptor (jboss-service.xml) that defines which services are loaded for the lifetime of the instance The files in directory ${jboss.server.config.url}

• bootstrap/*: Bootstrap descriptors for core micro container services defined in bootstrap.xml
• bootstrap.xml: Defines the core micro container beans to load during bootstap
• jboss-service.xml: Defines the core JMX services configurations
• jndi.properties: Specifies a set of properties that are passed to JNDI when new InitialDirContext() is called within JBoss
• jboss-log4j.xml: Configuration file for the logging service (Log4J) defining log filters, priorities, and destinations
• login-config.xml: Defines security realms used for authentication and authorization (JAAS)
• props/*.properties: Java property files (usually used for JAAS realms)
• java.policy: Placeholder for security permissions (Java Security Manager). Grant-All by default
• standardjboss.xml: Configuration file for the standard EJB container
• standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml: Configuration file for the standard JBossCMP engine
• xmdesc/*-mbean.xml: XMBean descriptors for services configured in the JBoss-service.xml file
• props/*: property files defining users and roles for the JMX-console

The default/data Directory

hypersonic/             wsdl/ tx-object-store/       xmbean-attrs/

1. Known in JBoss as JBoss.server.data.dir
2. The location where some services store private content on the file system
   1. Hypersonic DB - built-in (by default use as the temporary message store by JMS)
   2. XMBeans attribute persistence (not enabled by default)
   3. Transaction objects (temporary storage of objects during the two-phase commit process)
3. This directory is not directory exposed to the end-users (e.g. through the web interface)

Unless you use Hypersonic DB, the contents of this directory (including the directory itself) can be cleared (deleted) between JBoss restarts.
