Thanks Yoav. So.. what if it's not arbitrary and I want to put it in my
webapp's dir (e.g. under WEB-INF/repo)? There wouldn't be a special way
to access the directory, is there?
This would be best since I can then deploy the app to any server and not
need to setup JNDI even.

As a side note, my log4j log dir setting for my webapp suffers from this
same problem, where I must set it to /var/log/app in production which
wouldn't work for my windows test box. :(

Daniel
