Not true. If you put reactor in the root of your website you can use it without a mapping. You can also set up the data directory without a mapping my putting that in the root of your site.
Lastly, if you do work with shared hosting providers and they do have a mapping setup, you will need write access to that /reactor/project directory because reactor creates project-specific files that are volatile in there.

I can set up mappings galore, but that would mean that only one site on the whole server could use reactor, unless I put it in some kind of shared area - perhaps a dummy "site" on its own with its own set of permissions so it wasnt in anyone's live site, the way i do with ModelGlue. One important difference between ModelGlue and Reactor is that reactor will have site-specific files written to it, and if several sites are using Reactor, there will be several site-specific files in the one folder, and neither site owner will be able to get access to them. SO doing it the way João has some appeal to me, but how do you get around the need to have the mapping "reactor" when several sites in a shared hosting envoronment want to use it?
