Does anyone know the answer to this question? I am also wondering the same
thing.

Thanks

SimpleAccessManager is a just mock implementation of the
o.a.j.c.security.AccessManager interface. it's there for demonstrational
purposes only. there are several @todo comments in the source code
of SimpleAccessManager that indicate where a custom implementation
would want to insert custom authorization code.

WRT access.xml: there's no such file. the commented out element
in the respository.xml is just an example how to configure/parameterize
a custom AccessManager implementation, e.g.:

       <AccessManager class="my.app.CustomAccessManager">
           <param name="config" value="${rep.home}/access.xml"/>
           <param name="foo" value="bar"/>
       </AccessManager>
