Description

Currently the default of jspwiki.workDir is java.io.tmpdir

On Unix this is often /tmp and space limited, sometimes in ramdisk.

A better default would be the container default temp directory for each context whose location is pointed to by the context variable javax.servlet.context.tempdir

The change would have to be done in

org.apache.wiki.WikiEngine.createAndFindWorkingDirectory(Properties)
