Quote from spec, section 18.1.2
An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access
files and directo-ries
in the file system.
The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access
data. Business components
should use a resource manager API, such as JDBC, to store data.
<end quote>
Presumably you could access a file system through a transactional
filesystem API, but I don't know of any such things off the top of my
head. Anyone?
