The default/data Directory
hypersonic/ wsdl/
tx-object-store/ xmbean-attrs/
- Known in JBoss as jboss.server.data.dir
- Location where some services store private content on the file system
- Hypersonic DB - built-in (by default use as the temporary message store by JMS)
- XMBeans attribute persistence (not enabled by default)
- Transaction objects (temporary storage of objects during the two-phase commit process)
- This directory is not directory exposed to the end users (e.g. though the web interface)
Unless you use Hypersonic DB, the contents of this directory (including the directory itself) can be cleared (deleted) between JBoss restarts.
