I was able to get Pluto 1.1 up and running using a clean build and the Derby database seems to be built OK.
But it is found in a subdirectory of the Tomcat's bin directory and that is called: databaseName=PLUTO_PORTAL_DRIVER;name=pluto_portal_driver;password=apachep0rtals;create=true

It looks like you got a couple of the constants messed up in EmbeddedDataSource (BTW, see DatabaseConfig that I put in the same dir). When I get a chance, I'll change the directory location back to <user.home>/.pluto/portal-driver/data if I get some free time today.

Yes, decarative security is the way to go, but, IMHO, we shouldn't secure the whole portal by default.

At least in Maine we have no traffic and horrible snow (which I like since I'm a skier).:)
