* Section 21.1.2 Programming Restrictions
*
* - 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.
