Fair enough...

So, you are still getting errors. Why you get them is what you'd need to 
look at. If you don't want to have a username:password combo in your 
config file, is there any page on that service that is accessible 
without them? If not, it'll be hard to monitor the service you provide. 
How about a dummy user, which is only allowed to look at one page on 
that service?

You can also add Tomcat 4.0.x to that. It has a problem where the port 
is listening, but Tomcat doesn't accept requests. Fixed in 4.1 I believe...
