There is also one additional deployment bug and this certainly holds for 
RRDMA and possibly for XML-LS: The service expects (*initially*) exists 
to be running on 8180 when the default port of eXist (after deployment) 
is 8080. WA automatically changes the eXist port (please read above)  
*but* the first time when eXist is loaded on the wrong port so the user 
needs to restart Tomcat (to reload eXist on the correct port) otherwise 
several exceptions may crop up. 

Nicolas: Of course, I will contact Gina for the documentation.

Kind regards,
Prodromos
