PR addresses https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-990. The more I dug here, the more unmanageable this patch became/is becoming so what is represented here is a cleanup patch (complying with Type safety, removing unused imports, etc.) as well as addressing use of deprecated API's peppered throughout the OODT codebase.
I should mention that when I run the tests from the parent pom, [TestXmlRpcWorkflowManager.java](https://github.com/apache/oodt/blob/master/workflow/src/test/java/org/apache/oodt/cas/workflow/system/TestXmlRpcWorkflowManager.java) hangs. I would like others to let me know if it hangs when they test this patch.
