Hi,

My automated data updater is nearly finished.  One thing I still need to do is 
wipe the GeoWebCache for a layer when either the backing file or the default 
style has changed.  I am injecting my updater Spring bean with a reference to 
the running GeoServer instance.  Is there a convenient way to traverse the 
object graph from the GeoServer object in order to get the paths to the 
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR (which always contains the styles directory) and the GWC 
directory (which could be somewhere else)?

BTW, this automated updating feature is going to be a huge time-saver for the 
maintainers of our application.  We have large volumes of time series data that 
get updated frequently.  My updater is configured using an XML file with a 
section for each dataset.  The updater scans the data directories once per 
minute, and adds a store and layer for any new data files that it finds.

Currently, the updater relies on our file-naming convention to pull temporal 
information from the file name.  But, this could be generalized by putting 
regexes in the XML configuration file.  Might this make a good community module?

Thanks!

Greg
