I had forgotten about that API completely, and it handily solves the basic problem. I'll have to see how this works on a UNIX box (i.e. does it write to a ~/.java_prefs directory, or what). By using this API, you can plop a WAR on a server, then when the user first tries to use it, run them through a "configuration wizard". Perfect. Thanx!
