"JAAS LoginModule as source of DB conn creds?"

--------------------------------------------------------------
Normally, we develop apps that use a single set of credentials to create 
database connections within the pool.

We specifiy those in the login.xml using SecureIdentityLoginModule

Now, I'm developing an application that is for support personel.  They are 
granted specific write permission to the production database for short periods 
of time while they make specific modifications.  They connect with their own 
set of credentials.

So, I would like to prompt the user for their database credentials and use 
those as a basis for creating connections.

I know I could declare <application-managed-security/> in the datasource 
config, and then do a DataSource.getConnection(username,password) in my DAOs to 
get a connection, but I don't want to do straight JDBC.  I have a nice set of 
JPA entities and a whole bunch of criteria queries.

Is there a way to have more control over the connection process, using a 
specific set of credentials at runtime, and still make use of EntityManager?

Thanks for your thoughts.
