Thank you. You didn't look at the foul code did you :-P

yes, the stuff is really at a proof-of-concept stage to
get some discussion going.

Yes, until the fork() bits are written, the daemonctl program
can't fully "manage" the process by pid. I'm currently using
the "start" argument to the catalina.sh script. I only left
the "run -security" arguments in the example tomcat41ctl.xml
to show the eventual goal.
<start>
<exec>/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat4.1/bin/catalina.sh</exec>
<arg>start</arg>
</start>
Thanks much for checking this stuff out. I hope that we can
get this stuff into the ports tree, to make FreeBSD an even
better platform for java services.
cheers.
