Hi Johan, Please try this
this.getClass().getResource("").getPath();

This should give you the path from which current class is being referenced by JVM.

Any implementation that relies on a filesystem path is a bad implementation and poor design.

Reference classpath items, certainly, or use some sort of property to define a filesystem path.

But certainly do not rely on a location in the filesystem where your class/jar lives to be the basis for filesystem access.

If it is a temporary file (doesn't live beyond the restart of the application container), it should be stored in the temp folder.

If it has a longer lifespan, store it to the image gallery.
