No exceptions were being thrown but the file was not being served. Then I did a search on my hard drive and found that the files were being saved into $JBOSS_HOME\bin. I added the following path to point to the deployed webroot: | OutputStream pictureFileStream = new FileOutputStream("../server/default/deploy/fresh.ear/fresh.war/content/" + pictureOriginalFilename); | Now files are getting saved in my webroot and displaying correctly on the page. How do I programaticaly get the absolute system filepath of the webroot? Is it somewhere in facesContext? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4069861#...
