The spec says not to use any classes from java.io in your EJB, which is a
portability issue.  There are a number of ways to dealwith this.  One is to
ignore the spec, which I don't encourage.  A second way is to have your EJB
access an object outside the container to do the work for you (EJB callss an RMI
object that it looks up and the RMI objedct does the actual I/O work).  Another
alternative is to include the data in a message, and send it to a Message-driven
bean.  Another alternatige is to find a vendor that has a workaround for the
limitatoin ofthe spec. I don't know of any but I'm not upon proprieatry
features.  Others will know better about that aspect.
