I do agree with data stored in files (on the O/S) it is quite difficult for the container to manage the state synchronisation. However, if you want to use a data store which is *not* usually supported by Enterprise JavaBeans container you have to rely on BMPs or change to a data store supported by EJB container. BMP is also an alternative to access legacy or proprietary data store or db.
