So, it doesn't seem like we should move this code out of Catalina. NetUI has a thing called a ServerAdaptor that abstracts some container provided features. Security is one of the things that is hidden behind that API. Then we can pluggin container provided implementations of the ServerAdaptor. This seems like it should be pluggable instead of duplicating the code Catalina provides I would guess that each container implements this in their own way..
Rich Feit owns this in NetUI. I think he should review the role/user/group auth and see if it should be moved behind either the current ServerAdaptor or some type of similar interface.
