Scott, Talking of Catalina security - there have been quite a few posts in the forums about how to use Catalina security with standalone JBoss, as is possible in Tomcat 3.2. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way of getting hold of the current security information (username/password) from a Valve in order to set up the security association with JBoss. I'm not even sure if it's possible at all, as it seems likely that the Catalina authenticators will junk the password once the user's been authenticated, and it won't be available to subsequent requests. Do you have any ideas from your work on the integrated security? Luke. -- Luke Taylor. Monkey Machine Ltd.
