jBoss does this by default, but you can turn it off if you want to. I
don't see the value in turning it off just to be able to do I/O in the
beans though since that is counter-spec, and not really necessary.
Implement the I/O stuff in a separate library that the bean can call
instead. The only reason I see for turning off security is performance.
