Yes, that's the way it works.

No.

You may want to explore JMX to add your mapping to the mapper (instead
of using the Embedded interface)
Just take a look at
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-5/resources/mbeans/tomcat5-ant.xml?rev=1.16&view=markup

You may want to file an RFE in bugzilla. I may take a look and see if I
can add the feature ( I need to investigate first)
