Embedded systems, including routers. (I actually have been toying with putting
Tomcat on a cell phone; admittedly this is a lot like the old Dilbert cartoon -
1989/09/06 - about him creating a machine that transforms pocket lint into a
parsely substitute; the punch line is "I'm technology driven" :-)

It's *always* a bad idea to write into a webapp's deployment directory. The
Servlet spec requires that the container supply a work area via the context
attribute javax.servlet.context.tempdir, which would seem appropriate for this
purpose. You can either take the default ($CATALINA_HOME/work/<appName>) or
set some desired value in the <Context> or <Host> elements.
