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 ?
