The only place you can count on existing for writing is the tempdir defined by the servlet container.
File temp = (File)context.getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
Otherwise, you can set up a deployment parameter for your deployer to configure that specifies a directory for writing. This can be either a JNDI environment variable or a context parameter. You can set up defaults in the web.xml and the deployer can override these with proprietary server configuration.

I am storing images to db as a blob. I want to cache the images to files so I do not hit the db everytime.
Question: How do I write to a file... when I am deploying a war file? Where am I allowed to write and delete w/ a Servlet 2.4 (again... a war file).
