In such case tell your software vendor to make this directory configurable via settings in some .conf file under /etc. It will make it more compatible with the other packages like what you are trying to do. I suggest that the application data be kept somewhere under /srv since it is being made available to other machines over the network. Also, I second Raja's suggestion - please do read up the Samba docs; they are comprehensive and come with excellent examples which you can use as templates for your specific scenario.
