General functionality - service not showing up

Question

Hi,
sorry that I ask this silly questions here, but I guess even though I read a lot of papers, I still miss some general conceptual points!? Maybe someone can give me a good hint what to read or how to understand SMF's general philsophy?
Here is my (next) problem:
I just created a new manifest file and imported it via:
svccfg -v import ./http-tomcat5.xmlIt simply sayssvccfg: Successful import. but if I now try to get some information about the FMRI by e.g.:svcs -l tomcat5 I always get:svcs: Pattern 'tomcat5' doesn't match any instancesThe manifest looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1">
<service_bundle type='manifest' name='tomcat'>
  <service name='network/http/tomcat5' type='service' version='1'>
    <single_instance/>
    <dependency name='config-file'
      grouping='require_all'
      restart_on='none'
      type='path'>
      <service_fmri value='file:///usr/apache2/tomcat/conf/server.xml'/>
    </dependency>
    <dependency name='loopback'
      grouping='require_all'
      restart_on='error'
      type='service'>
      <service_fmri value='svc:/network/loopback:default'/>
    </dependency>
    <dependency name='physical'
      grouping='require_all'
      restart_on='error'
      type='service'>
      <service_fmri value='svc:/network/physical:default'/>
    </dependency>
    <dependency name='fs-local'
      grouping='require_all'
      restart_on='none'
      type='service'>
      <service_fmri value='svc:/system/filesystem/local'/>
    </dependency>
    <exec_method
      type='method'
      name='start'
      exec='/lib/svc/method/http-tomcat5 start'
      timeout_seconds='60' />
    <exec_method
      type='method'
      name='stop'
      exec='/lib/svc/method/http-tomcat5 stop'
      timeout_seconds='60' />
    <exec_method
      type='method'
      name='refresh'
      exec='/lib/svc/method/http-tomcat5 refresh'
      timeout_seconds='60' />
    <stability value='Evolving'/>
    <template>
      <common_name>
        <loctext xml:lang='C'>Apache Tomcat 5 server</loctext>
      </common_name>
      <documentation>
        <doc_link name='apache.org' uri='http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat'/>
      </documentation>
    </template>
  </service>
</service_bundle>So up till now I was assuming that all work done by use of svccfg modifies the repository and by using svcadm refresh I advice the running processes to re-read the repository and apply the configuration found there?!

Uff,
no no - I know all this and I'm already in the stage of getting in love with SMF - BUT:
I can neither see the service via svcs -a nor can I access it via svcadm!
I all the time get: svcadm: Pattern 'tomcat5' doesn't match any instances
Only svccfg -s tomcat5 brings me correctly to the tomcat service:
[svc:/network/http/tomcat5>/code]
So right now I get the feeling that this is somehow a bug - or as stated above, I got something completely wrong?!
