Directories

At least one directory need to be writeable by the web server in order for WELD to maintain it's persistent counter file. Usually the directory containing the log files must be writeable, so this is a reasonable place (especially since the counter file is just a special kind of log file).

WELD looks for session TCL files, but only requires read access to them. There is also an "include" directory where standard HTML fragments can be stored.

All of these files are configurable in the weld.properties (the file that the weld servlet's initArg config points to).

The WELD documents themselves can be stored anywhere that a normal HTML file can be, including the server root's htdocs directory and each user's public_html directory located in their home directories.

No intermediate files are explicitly stored anywhere by WELD, although the servlet container may have a session persistence mechanism that does this (depending on vendor, version, and configuration).
