<p>

The Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 core specification, Section 21.1.2, states:

</p>

<blockquote>

<p>

An enterprise bean must not use the <code>java.io</code> package to attempt to access files and

directories in the file system.

</p>

<p>

The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access data. Business components

should use a resource manager API, such as JDBC, to store data.

</p>
