It sure does, thanks a lot! :-)

I do wonder, but perhaps this is not a question for this forum, why a JNDI 
connection to the Jboss AS directory can't be made without exposing the 
jboss-client-jar to the client application. I mean, it's also possible to 
provide authentication services to a Java EE application, without the 
application itself having to know about a particular authenticator. I.e. in 
Tomcat these are called realms and are defined at the servlet container level, 
not at the application level.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm building an application where the 
dependencies should be as few as is reasonably possible. As much as possible 
should be defined at the servlet or AS level.
