Thanks for the hint about using JAAS via CallBackHandler, etc in th eother thread...I have not got it working 100% on JRun yet...but still banging away at it.

Yes, when you user source="servlet", you must configure the source attribute in the remote-objects section of the flex-config.xml. You have to set it to the name of your context. So if your web application context is "localhost:8080/batman", then you must set:
 
<source>batman</source>
 
or for no security at all (don't do this in production):
 
<source>*</source>

I was under the impression this was not the approach to take in 1.5.  IIRC, when messing with source= "servlet" I had to add some info to the flex.config file.  Can you comment on this?  Just curious as there seems to be so many ways to do this.

Ok here is how to do this.
 
Basically you will have a login.jsp page that will authenticate the user using FORM authentication. Once the user has logged in successfully, then you must retrieve the user information from your DB and save it to the session, this might look something like this:
 
UserVO user = userAdmin.getUser( userName );
session.setAttribute( "user", userLogin );
 
Now that the user object is in the session, once the Flex app loads, you can retrieve it from the session and make use of it as you please. First you must declare a RO that will connect with the current session:
 
<mx:RemoteObject id="sessionSvlt" source="servlet"
result="handleSessionResult( event.result)"
fault="handleSessionFault(event)"
showBusyCursor="true" />

And then you get the object from the session like so:

sessionSvlt.session( "get", "user" );
