Right, but I've always been against sticking templates into a relational database system, and I've never heard of any other good alternative database for document storage.
First of all I have to ask: why won't you store a template in a relational database?
As for alternatives I am particularly fond of the Virtual File System approach (using Commons VFS). To your application everything looks like a file system yet you could potentially store "files" anywhere.
I suppose that using an unpacked WAR is one solution, but what about the issue of security? Content people should not have write access to the unpackaged WAR directory. Does anyone else accomplish this without a relational database?
Unpacked WARs are probably the worst solution unless your file system is the definitive location of that content. If there is any chance that you might want to update the file system using a new WAR in the future then you would potentially lose the existing data or you would have to jump through hoops to migrate it.
One thing I have been considering for quite some time is the ability to pull content directly from CVS. Perhaps that is the alternative that you are looking for? Although like I said before I don't understand what you have against databases.
