Except ....
Use of file.io is specifically excluded by the EJB 1.1 spec:
>From EJB1_1-PublicRelease doc, section 18.1.2 page 273

An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access
files and directories in the file system.
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.

So actually NO EJB servers can handle this directly! :-(
The solution is to use a "standalone" lookup object to do the io,
registered as a JNDI resource.
