That's weird, they're supposed to go to your tmp dir, not the webapps
dir. Can you give more details about the OS, version number, tomcat
version, JDK version, ... that you're using?

Sadly this is a recurrent theme. RIFE's templates are as
designer-friendly as Tapestry and Wickets, they're just much more fine
grained. The others expect a DOM-like structure and latch onto that.
RIFE treats templates just as text, any text, and allows you to split
it up as you want with blocks and place value tags where needed. If
those happen to fall at locations that aren't designer friendly, then
you have to consider if you want to make the trade-off or not. I'm not
sure that I correctly phrasing what I want to say, but in the others
you tie yourself to one particular tag with an attribute that gives it
an ID. That's not different from surrounding the HTML tag with a block
tag in a RIFE template. The difference is that with RIFE you can
decide to template invalid HTML code, email messages, SQL, ...
anything. Also, if you're putting a value tag inside HTML attributes
like href, you might want to look at the template tag alternatives,
the ${} syntax is much more effective there
(http://rifers.org/wiki/display/RIFE/Alternative+tag+syntax). That
makes designers happier.

Thanks for the compliments, hope you find what you need with it :-)
