Stick with XML.  Check Sun's web-site for JAX-B. Also, use Google to search for 
Castor and Zeus, both Java data binding products.

Re: System user accounts required to use manager in 4.1.12?

[billfly3]

John,
The manager install and reload finctions work fine on 4.0.4 running on an 
AS/400 with a windows client.  Your URL format looks correct and like the one I 
used.  It took me a few trial and errors to get the format correct.

Re: Shutting down and restarting Tomcat

[billfly3]

Look at the Manager application in the Tomcat documentation.  It will allow you 
to deploy, redeploy, and restart a single application, rather than the entire 
Tomcat instance.  These operations take a matter of seconds.

Re: Reload Servlets/Classes

[billfly3]

http://localhost:8080/manager/reload?path=/

will reload an application.  You must be set up as as a 
role of manager in the users.xml file. See 
the .../webapps/tomcat-docs/manager-howto.html for more 
information.
