How to store custom data into Jira's database

Subhajit Bhuiya

We are writing a Jira plugin and store some custom data as xml file in Jira's home folder. But that will be a problem if Jira runs on clustered environment. Is there a way to store the data into Jira's database as string into some predefined database table of Jira (may be using key, value pair) or may be some other way
