That's what I'm oriented for...

Well, that's not _always_ true... For example, if in your config file you
change the port from 80 to 800 (both privileged, btw), you will have to
restart the VM. start() and stop() are merely a "pause" and "continue", as
most of your configurations should be handled in init(), and that gets
called only _once_ within your JVM process...

Yeah, I like the symmetry too :)
