Persisting Entity Beans to Hard-Disk

[Taylor, Julian (NOW)]

Hi everyone.

I need to find out how one persists an Entity Bean to Disk as opposed to a
Database.  The J2EE developer docs suggest that no use can be made of the
java.io package within an Entity Bean.  This indicates to me that I should
be using services provided by the Orion container in order to do this.  I
can't find these services however and would appreciate some information
regarding how I should go about this.

Cheers
