John,
I am looking into this now. What download did you use for the trial?

I downloaded the ActuateJavaComponent.war file (147 MB) on April 24, 2009.
We had some initial problems downloading from www.birt-exchange.org. That
was just about the time that the new website architecture was implemented.
I communicated with jbauson via phone and email in order to successfully
download the war file.
Based upon information in log files, I believe that our trial license
expires on June 14.
Thanks.

I located the copy of the zip file that contained the war file that I
installed under Tomcat.
The name of the zip file is ActuateJavaComponent_war-100C.zip and all of
the files in the zip file are dated March 31, 2009. I'm not sure if that
provides any additional information relevent to your research.

John,
I can reproduce the problem. I will get a bug created in the
ActuateJavaComponent war to get it fixed.
