Hi Judy,

Thank you very much for spending your time to ask developers.
I fully understand the reason.

Another question is that, why in temp dir ?
If those are important files, it may be better keep them under
glassfish home directory...

Well, this is just a casual question. I may try to ask someone to get
the answer.

Thanks again for your help :-)
