Title: 2 questions, (starting/stopping web services) and (when is a ws constructor called)...

1.  Is is possible to start/stop specific web services?  If so, can this be done from an ant script.  I know that Tomcat has some ant tasks, such as deploy, undeploy, redeploy, list, start and stop.  Is the start/stop limited to Tomcat itself, a specific web app (AXIS), or web services running under Axis?  What is the syntax for these ant tasks?

2.  When is the constructor of a web service called?  My web service has Application scope and has a lot of startup code that I only want to execute once.
