What's the best way to store uploaded files in web java application? I'm currently storing all uploaded files inside project folder. Unfortunately deploying new version of application is a pain in the arse. Do you have any good practice of storing uploaded files?

2By the way, how so "pain in the arse"? You're the one making a major conceptual mistake, not Java/JSF. – BalusC Nov 05 '13 at 18:01

You can upload into Database with Blob Type or your can save the file upload into file system but a external folder example c:/Users/youruser/documents/resources to redeploy do not replace.
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(System.getProperty("home.dir")+"/resources/file.jpg"); //to save into my documents folder
with jackrabbit(JCR) the sintaxis is similar to
Node.setProperty(java.lang.String name,Binary value)
to store content, i think that the JCR is the best Way

also you can create system variable in your servlet context example my_resources_path=c:/.... and in your code read the property System.getProperty("my_resources_path") – jrey Nov 05 '13 at 12:27
