About the base servlet
All Actuate servlets derive from the base servlet:

*Parse and validate parameters specified in Information Console URI directives.
*Create XML API structures based on Actuate Information Console requests.
*Submit XML streams to the Actuate SOAP API.
*Handle responses from the Actuate SOAP API, including detecting errors.
*Store constant session information, such as the name space and SOAP endpoint.
*Read from and write to cookies.
*Stream report data or errors to the web browser.
