Using the default reporthome

If you do not specify a reporthome, the self-contained JReport Server will create a default working folder. The default working folder is <user.home>/.jreport/default, where <user.home> is the system property user.home retrieved from Java VM. The JReport Server has the Read and Write privileges in this directory. Different OSs have different real paths for <user.home>. For example,

For Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\username

For Unix/Linux: /home/username

Notes:

user.home is a system property of the Java VM (-Duser.home=xxx). So you can also specify different folders for this JVM option.
If JReport Server is running on Windows as a service, the username is the user who installed the service or the specified logon user for the service.
If JReport Server is running as a Unix/Linux Daemon, you can specify the JVM system property -Duser.home in the script file that starts JReport Server.
