Hi Robert,
I am only a user of the bridge, but it appears to me that you're confused 
about a couple things.

1.  The bridge installer zip file has a conf folder and a webapps folder.  
These should basically expand into the tomcat base folder and their 
contents should overwrite the contents of the existing tomcat conf and 
webapps folder.  After doing that, there is no need to extract any other 
files into tomcat/lib or anywhere else for that matter.  It is entirely 
possible as the bridge has been undergoing some API changes that the 
rhioConfig.xml there is out of date as the schema has recently changed, so 
renaming rhioConfigMesa.xml to rhioConfig.xml may have been necessary.  I 
haven't used the installer for a long time so I don't know for sure about 
the current state of the rhioConfig.xml, I just update the bridge.war file 
as necessary.

2.  The bridge is NOT a registry/repository which it appears that you 
believe it to be, judging from your attempt to use xdstest2 against it 
with this configuration 
"<RegistryEndpoint>http://localhost:8080/bridge/services</RegistryEndpoint>". 
The bridge basically provides a set of web services that you can invoke 
to act as one of the following IHE actors: XDS Consumer, XDS Source, 
PIX/PDQ Consumer, PIX Source, and ATNA audit client.  They are all client 
actors, the bridge doesn't do any of the server actors like XDS 
Registry/Repository or PIX Manager or Audit server (I forget the official 
name for that).

Hopefully that helps.  Additionally, you can try this url: 
http://www.eclipse.org/ohf/components/bridge/using.php
It explains how you invoke the bridge in order to behave as one of those 
actors that it supports.

thanks,
Jesse
