Hello Erik, No, you won't really have write capability...at least not FileIO write capability. You might be able to update some resource the same way as you might update a file in a jar file at runtime, although I haven't looked into that.
The only place you are guaranteed write access is to the temp directory provided by the servlet container per the servlet spec. Assuming anything else is done at your own peril. If you require other write access or read access outside the webapp itself, you start to tie yourself to either a platform or an extra process you will have to go through to set up the system to guarantee it matches your assumptions for file read/write access.
