Tomcat Architecture: XML

[micael]

I am interested in a particular part of the Tomcat architecture, and NOT the relations between the containers, and the normal development stuff.

The use of xml is what interests me, and I cannot find any stuff on how this works IN TOMCAT/CATALINA. I know how xml works.

What I would like to know is how the xml works in relation to the applications IN TOMCAT/CATALINA.

Is the xml in server.xml used as part of a design pattern using Java reflection? What about the web.xml? Is the way various xml files are used pretty standard, or are there great variations in Tomcat, struts, etc. across the jakarta platforms. I keep trying to find this stuff out, and have had little luck. I need to know the details before I understand something. I hope this is not too dumb of a question.
