What's the current wisdom on managing user uploaded files to a web app that's 
deployed via a WAR?

In other words, when the WAR is updated, the directory containing uploaded 
files 
would be wiped out.

Do people save uploaded files outside of the web app root directory? Security 
issues with this?
Do people not use auto-expanding WAR files and manage the deployment by hand?
Do you not include the directory for uploaded files in the WAR (but create it 
at 
runtime) and then trust that the expanded WAR won't overwrite it on deployment?

Any pointers greatly appreciated!
