If you followed the thread--or even read the quoted sentence above
(the part that reads "data in transit")--then surely you recognize
that I have no need to store data.

Further, in this specific case (Java servlet running in WebSphere
environment), an external database would *seriously* complicate the
situation in terms of deployment and support (running in a corporate
environment, sharing space with a LOT of other applications, so
publication is a very formal, multi-stage process).
