Description
The deployment.config file is used for specifying the location and execution of system-level properties for the Java Runtime Environment. By default no deployment.config file exists; thus, no system-wide deployment.properties file exists. 64-bit systems require two copies of the file, one for the 64-bit JRE and the other for the 32-bit JRE. Without the deployment.config file, setting particular options for the Java control panel is impossible.

Check Text ( C-41522r6_chk )
On 32-bit systems, verify that one JRE deployment configuration file exists as indicated:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\deployment.config

On 64-bit systems, verify that two JRE deployment configuration files exist as indicated, one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\deployment.config
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\deployment.config

If the configuration files do not exist as indicated, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-37158r7_fix)
On 32-bit systems, create a JRE deployment configuration file as indicated:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\deployment.config

On 64-bit systems, create two JRE deployment configuration files as indicated:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\deployment.config
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\deployment.config

The deployment.config file is a text file containing 2 keys. The keys are:

deployment.system.config =
deployment.system.config.mandatory =
