Alex,
I don't know if this will help, but I have been working with iPlanet/Sun ONE, and if I remember correctly (this comes from the marketing types) there is a configuration feature that allows the configuration to be in both places. The flat file is offered as a defelopment solution, and allows configurations to be shared easily between servers. I believe there is some continuity between both, where the registry can be loaded via file, and can be dumped to file. I don't know if this strategy will help, or just create noise. Sorry if the latter.

I kicked off a thread suggesting configuration information may be stored in a registry-based system instead of a flat-file/xml-based format, which provoked some interesting comments and discussions.
I've created a few pages to capture this in:
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ConfigurationAsFlatFile http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ConfigurationAsRegistry http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheJ2EE/Configuration
and put comments that have been made by others in there. Ideally, I'd like people to review the first couple and add any other advantages/disadvantages/wishlist items inside there.
Thanks,
Alex.
