André, Chris and Neven,
Sorry for the late response. Got stuck on other project and just come back now to read all your awesome helpful advices! Neven, I got to try your "pseudocode". They are really detailed written and well explained. A little bit extra trouble in my situation is that I need to test the Java project with different version of Eclipses; hence, with different setting of Tomcat within the Eclipse (not a choice of mine) But with all your help I should be more than half way there. Thank you and you all have a good weekend!
