There is no such thing in Servlet specs AFAIK

in xwiki.cfg
I know what XWiki#getWorkDirectory() but I would like to not have to
rewrite it if possible…
Yes but IMO it's better to rewrite it cleanly than putting the getWorkDirectory in a
bad location or doing some hacks to depend on the old core.
It's also not like it's a big thing to rewrite.
What I mean is that I did not planned to start now a new
implementation/property and a debate on where should work dir be
located, I just wanted a working API.
Thanks
