That was a distinction that you did not make when you stated the following:

> Tomcat shouldn't be creating directories unless explicitly directed to do so.

Even with that new distinction, I'm not sure that I agree. Why should a
usability benefit that is applied to Tomcat itself not also applied to an
application that is deployed to Tomcat? Put another way, what harm could be
caused by creating the directory?

It's also possible that the application does not customise the location via
<multipart-config> or @MultipartConfig. In that case the location is both
configured and managed by Tomcat yet the directory will not be created. That
seems unnecessarily inconsistent to me.
