title: Disk storage in a Java EE application
body: <p>I have Java EE app in which I want to small little amount of data to disk, eg just user/passwords.</p>
  
  <p>I dont want to go through the hassle of integrating with a full db for this little amount of data.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a standard way to access the file system and a standard folder where web applications can store their data on disk, other than using a database?</p>
  
  <p>Note:</p>
  
  <p>I am not using EJBs. It's a web application using Servlets.</p>
