I linked yesterday to a post on the difficulties of doing file i/o from a server based EJB app. Today, I see more oddball work arounds to this problem. Here's a cluestick - it's a server side app. Presumably, the hosting company can set it up such that your application only has permissions to diddle in your directory (you know, using ultra-complex stuff like file permissions). So why again do you have to jump through hoops to do this? Maybe because the EJB Spec is just plain stupid in this area?
