It's not that we think you're using a non-Tomcat Realm: it's that we
think you're using the /wrong/ Tomcat Realm.

See... JDBCRealm uses its own set of credentials to connect to the
database and uses a single Connection object, requiring lots of
synchronization to protect that shared resource. Basically, it's not
appropriate for production because of those two facts. Instead, we're
suggesting that you set up a DataSource and then use a DataSourceRealm
which will use a connection-per-authentication-attempt and is much more
high-performance.

Is hibernate using a Tomcat-created DataSource? If not, you're making
your life harder by placing database connection configuration in several
places instead of just one.
