Ok new proposal:
* introduce ApplicationContext#getWorkDirectory
* introduce container.workDirectory in xwiki.properties
* for now keep same behavior as XWiki#getWorkDirectory: if
container.workDirectory is not defined then fallback on
getTemporaryDirectory()
I would really like to start using the API and I don't really care how
it's implemented at EM level as long as I get a persisting folder when
I can write stuff. We can always add more fallbacks before
getTemporaryDirectory() later.
WDYT ?
Here is my +1

I think I finally understand why XE has a hack to add
xwiki.work.dir=work
at the end the generated xwiki.cfg file. It just hope to be run in a
folder where it has the right to write and which is persisted between
restarts.
Because if you don't set this then it will use
javax.servlet.context.tempdir which can be removed anytime...
So basically even XWiki#getWorkDirectory has no clue where to find a
proper work directory and it has to be explicitly specified.
It was kind of OK for the Lucene index but seems pretty fuzzy for
filesystem attachments or extension manager local repository to me.
So I guess we will have to really start defining something about work directory.

Hi devs,
Right now there is no way for a component to know where is the
standard work directory (the one used for Lucene or filesystem
attachments for example) so I would like to add an API to access it.
That said I propose to add a
File getWorkDirectory()
in org.xwiki.container.ApplicationContext which will use
XWiki#getWorkDirectory() behind the scene probably for now.
WDYT ?

Actually ServletApplicationContext does not have access to old XWiki
API right now so I'm not sure what's the best for implementing this
method yet.
