David,

My experience with persistance in webapps has been with using databases.
I recently ran into a JSP based Wiki that uses flat files (most likely
in the working directory) to persist data.

Now I remember that back at my old company we used Tomcat for a
project and it would let you add files to the working directory that
would persist between runs.
When you used JBoss, it wouldn't (and I reasoned that it's fair from a
security point of view)
So I'm kind of asking how Geronimo handles this and what is the best
way of persisting if you insist on flat files.

Greetings,

Barry
