I had a similar question, earlier... There is another issue here: you are right that WAR files are expanded back into a folder - at least by default - so one could still create a folder within the web app to write to, and which is visible to browsers... Until one deploys an updated WAR file. At that point, tomcat will delete the old expanded WAR folder, in order to create a new one to deploy the new WAR file into - and in the process it will remove all files that were created before. If these files are just transient anyway, then it does not matter...
