I've heard that on the client machine, a Java applet may write to one single 
directory, and only that one single directory in order to store information. 
Because of security issues, this directory has to have a specific name and 
be in a specific place (off the root I would guess).

Does anyone have any information about this topic? Does this possibility 
really exist, or is it just a rumour? I haven't come across anything like 
this on the Sun site.
