I'm not sure what the impact of Tomcat is on this, but I've used syntax
similar to this:
try {
File tf = File.createTempFile("pattern", ".suffix");
tf.deleteOnExit();
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(tf));
out.write("This temporary file is deleted on close");
out.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
...
}
