I'm using the April 8 release of Jboss 2.2/Tomcat 3.2.1.

I'm attempting to write an app that will have a client portion, a servlet 
controller on Tomcat and be modeled with some session and entity beans in 
JBoss. 

I'm hung up on JAAS. I've sucessfully secured the servlet with HTTP Basic 
auth, but that has nothing to do with the EJBs. I am having a lot of 
various trouble getting into the ejb from the servlet.

Ultimately I want the servlet to call ejbs. The servlet informs the user 
of security events (need login, can't do that, etc.) based solely on 
security in the beans.

Can someone give me a push in the right direction? (Code appreciated) I'm 
expecting the the client app will pass in credentials using http headers 
in the same way a browser would.

I'm thinking it's something like:

Make LoginContext(what goes here) where does JNDI lookup java:/jaas/other 
fit in?
Load Context with stuff from http auth headers if any.
ContextVar.login()
Try operations.
Catch(SecurityException) inform user of problem. Flag "need login" if 
applicable.

Thanks in advance.

Darrin
