Parts of the underlying JMX implementation have changed in WS6.0.  I had to 
modify some of my WAS 5.1 jacl scripts to cope with this.  Since sa4was is a 
simplification of the WAS 5.1 JMX layer it may not cope with these changes so 
if you are starting from scratch I would avoid using sa4was with 6. 

The sarwas author is aware of these issues.  See thread on the se4was forum.

I have never had the need to parse XML files in JACL mainly because IBM do not 
recommend manual modification of the underlying WAS xml config files.  

I don't know whether jacl 1.4.0 supports non greedy regexp but if it does then 
you can upgrade the WAS 6.0 jacl environment by simply downloading the jacl 
1.4 binary and replacing the jacl.jar and tcljava.jar files in the 
wasinstall/appserver/lib directory with the 1.4 jars.  I have tested 1.4 with 
WAS 6.0 and have not had a single problem.  It's rock solid. 

You can test the regexp in jacl 1.4 independently.  See this link.

You can also run wsadmin with Jacl 1.4 as an external tool in eclipse.  See 
this link.
