Problems with package java.io???

[Linda Andersson]

Hello!
The authors of the EJB book I am reading are saying that it is a bad idea to use package java.io in EJB. This because then you might have problems when you try to deploy the bean on the EJB 2.0-compliant server.
Why can the java.io package cause problems in the EJB?

Hi Linda,

page 494 of the specification

"...

- 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.

Hello Linda,

You can find the list of the resources here.
It contains a link for the specification also.

You can find this at the top of the SCBCD forum.
