[Clip] Need help with a Clip policy using SLIDE/CDS

I am trying to create policy for one our products.  

I am using 3.1-0 of clip SELinux policy and SLIDE/CDS.  I have a remote
target server set up with our application and slideRemote (monolithic).
I have a created a policy for our application and can deploy it via
slideRemote.  The files and directories possess the expected security
labels but I can not get the processes to transition into their domains.
I believe I have created the appropriate structure(s) in SLIDE/CDS but
clearly something is missing.

I have tried look at the files containing the results of CDS diagram but
that has not been useful.  Is there someone who can help me out?

I am little hesitant about sending out work product on the list but here
is somewhat generic description of the processes involved.

The first process domain is a modified Apache httpd. It operates in
proxy mode. It reads a security policy (which is a resource that is
shared with the other process domains) to makes allow/disallow access
decisions for files residing on a remote server. 

This process will not transition out of init_t.

The second process domain is java process that communicates with a
remote administrator appliance via TCP/IP.  This process manages/updates
the security policy that was mentioned earlier. This process will not
transition out java_t

 
The third process domain is a tomcat web server that operates under
process #1.  It also reads the security policy and makes access
decisions for web/xml content.
 
All of these processes are started via init scripts. 

I have gone ahead and attached a zip file containing the policy source
and a screen shot of the CDS graphic.

Thanks 
James
