Ammar it is technically possible to do this at the coding level (when
embedding GeoServer into a larger J2EE application).

However .... I just finished removing this unused functionality on master
(since it just added complexity and there was way for non developers to use
the functionality).

It is fairly common to have one GEOSERVER_DATA_DIRECTORY (to manage your
configuration) and a separate folder for all your spatial data. To set this
up you end up with absolute paths when configuring stores. This is a good
setup as you can quickly backup your geoserver configuration.

There are also a few extra environmental variable that control things like
the GeoWebCache "cache" location, so these folders can be placed beside the
geoserver data directory (and thus not backed up).

Subversion Kills Productivity. Get off Subversion & Make the Move to Perforce.
With Perforce, you get hassle-free workflows. Merge that actually works. 
Faster operations. Version large binaries.  Built-in WAN optimization and the
freedom to use Git, Perforce or both. Make the move to Perforce.
