now you may have /home/loukik/webapps/perfSONAR-RRD-MA-2.0

This way under webapps dir  you will be able to have other services, for 
example
   /home/loukik/webapps/perfSONAR-XML-LS-1.0
   /home/loukik/webapps/perfSONAR-SQL-MA-1.0
   ...
I was following the approach that is present in Tomcat 
(apache-tomcat-xxx/webapps/; in webapps dir you may have many web 
applications).


Info for service developers: all you have to do is:
- update of service configure script (target 
set-service-properties-for-xxx, properties: service.log.log4j.config and 
service.sax_parser.config)
- update of service deploy script (target copy-jars-for-xxx) but only if 
you are using metadata config file (just like it is in MA)

take a look at RRD or SQL MA Ant scripts (in svn trunk) to see examples
