 *
 * - An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access files and directo-
 * ries 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.
 *
 * - The enterprise bean must not attempt to directly read or write a file descriptor.
 *
 * Allowing the enterprise bean to read and write file descriptors directly could compromise security.
