Well, it certainly meets my requirement that it writes it out sans
comments.
I added two hosts, smith & wesson, to an out-of-the-box 5.5.29 setup on
Windows. For smith, I just proved a name and appbase. For wesson, I also
unchecked AutoDeploy and DeployXML. I used jconsole to run the
storeConfig(), and it renamed the old file to server.xml.timestamp and
then wrote out a new server.xml sans comments. It appears that it
doesn't write out anything that might be default settings. It didn't
write out a port or shutdown value for <Server> and left out some
parameters for the <Connector> for port 8080. It actually added a
connectionTimout="-1" to the AJP connector. You can see the results
below.
All in all, it's not a great or perfect solution, but it is workable.
