Configuring the Actuate Java Component repository

Actuate Java Component provides the ability to organize, run, and view reports in a repository. You configure the security and repository for the Java Component using parameters in web.xml. The Java Component repository operates as a standalone or workgroup entity on the file system. Table 4-5 describes the configuration parameters for the Deployment Kit.
