What is the WildFly best practice to store/retrieve files in/from an external directory

[Osman Balci]

I am trying to convert my tutorials from GlassFish 4.1 to WildFly 21.

I set the following in glassfish-web.xml

<property name="alternatedocroot_1" value="from=/CloudStorage/* dir=/Users/Balci/DocRoot" />

to store/retrieve files in/from the external directory /Users/Balci/DocRoot.

What is the best practice, hopefully the easiest, for doing this in WildFly 21?

My web searches produced old confusing incomplete suggestions. I decided to consult with this group of WildFly experts.

Thanks for your help.

You'd probably want to use an Undertow file handler https://docs.wildfly.org/21/wildscribe/subsystem/undertow/configuration/handler/file/index.html.

Thanks for confirming Undertow to be the best practice. I followed the instructions at http://middlewaremagic.com/jboss/?p=2718 and implemented Undertow. It works nicely.
