Sorry. As far as I'm concerned, I have been extremely busy lately, so I'm
focusing on dev issues first.

Without Tomcat, it's not a daemon.
Yes, you can use the Java API locally.

It uses WebDAV to talk with your client.
There are some diagrams there :

Yes, everything is normal. Tomcat just warns that there's no
/WEB-INF/web.xml in the namespace, which is true.
For convinience (for us, the developers), the default configuration uses
transient memory storage, so the resources will disappear when you stop the
server. I think we'll ship with hSql in the future (so that the data is
persistent, which is what the user usually expects ;-) ).
